We report on a woman with idiopathic Meige's syndrome whose
dystonia
improved with the use of levetiracetam (LEV,
Keppra
, UCB Pharma, Smyrna, GA). This report and data from an animal model of paroxysmal

dystonia
.

The authors present a man with Huntington disease who was treated with levetiracetam (
Keppra
) in an effort to reduce chorea. Chorea was markedly reduced, but the patient developed parkinsonism and lethargy after 6 weeks of treatment. Symptoms consisted of resting tremor, rigidity, increased
dystonia
, and gait difficulty. Side effects from levetiracetam resolved completely within 7 days of levetiracetam discontinuation, and chorea returned to baseline.
