Synopsis:
This CME presents two case studies of patients with schizophrenia on multiple antipsychotics. The parkinsonism observed was initially presumed to be iatrogenic; however, the Tc-99m TRODAT-1 SPECT scan scan proved useful in distinguishing drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) from idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (iPD). Clinically, differentiating between the two conditions can be challenging.
