Cocaine is a substance that has significant central stimulant action in the central nervous system. As cocaine abuse spreads throughout society, many neurologic side effects are appearing with increasing frequency. These side effects include seizures, tremor, focal neurologic deficits, headache, and dizziness. Recently, there have been reports of movement disorders associated with cocaine use. Cocaine use increases the incidence of acute dystonic reactions in patients being treated with dopamine blocking agents. There have also been rare reports of cocaine causing dystonia in patients who were taking no other street drugs or medications. Our report describes the case of a patient who had an acute dystonic reaction 12 hours after a crack cocaine binge.
