J Pediatr. 1992 Dec;121(6):983-5. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3476(05)80357-9.

Abstract

Tardive dyskinesia is a chronic, often permanent, movement disorder that has been reported in elderly patients receiving metoclopramide. We describe an 8-year-old boy with tardive dyskinesia that developed when he received metoclopramide as part of therapy for gastroesophageal reflux and erosive esophagitis.
