A Rare Case of Spontaneous Peri Oral Dyskinesia: Case Report with Literature Review

Dyskinesia is an abnormality or impairment of voluntary movement affecting any part of the body. Orofacial dyskinesia involves uncontrolled, stereotypic, paroxysmal movement affecting the face, lips, tongue, jaws or in combination which may lead to severe pain. These involuntary movements are commonly associated with chronic antipsychotic drug usage. But when the dyskinesia occurs with no drug history it is called idiopathic or spontaneous oral dyskinesia. The diagnosis of Spontaneous oral dyskinesia is purely made based on thorough history, precise clinical findings, and necessary investigations to rule out neurological cause. Early management is essential to prevent the Temporomandibular joint and oro-dental complication. Medical management is the first line of treatment in these patients. The following is a clinical diagnostic case report of Spontaneous oral dyskinesia with presenting signs and symptoms, history and examination characteristic of the condition and investigation with successful management.
