Résumé :

We report four cases of tardive dyskinesia (TD) with second generation antipsychotics (SGA). All of those cases where women, three of them had affective psychosis. The presentation of TD where choreo athetosis in one case, respiratory dyskinesia in another and a tardive dystonia in a third. The fourth one had a very precocious form after just a few weeks of treatment. All of them, except one, had a major form of the disorder, with a major impact on their quality of live. We discuss the necessity to remain aware of this dangerous side effect and to keep it in mind while prescribing SGA for bipolar disorders.
