Department of Community Medicine, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
Background: Schizophrenia is a severe mental health disorder characterized by abnormality in patient perception, belief and cognition resulting in gross abnormal behaviour and deterioration in interpersonal relationship and occupational functioning with onset usually in adolescence and youth period. While it is common to observe distortion in the belief system and perceptual experiences and other oddities of behaviour, including amotivational syndrome, ambivalence, social withdrawal, catatonia among youth suffering from this severe mental disorder, presenting with neurological symptom of complete inability to walk despite the desire to do so is very uncommon. We aimed to present a case report of a Nigerian youth who presented with inability to walk without any neurological deficit and had normal brain MRI scan.

Background: Movement disorder emergencies include any movement disorder which develops over hours to days, in which failure to appropriately diagnose and manage can result in patient morbidity or mortality.Movement disorder emergencies include acute dystonia: sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal, often repetitive, movements. Acute dystonia is a serious challenge for emergency room doctors and neurologists, because of the high probability of misdiagnosis, due to the presence of several mimickers including partial seizures, meningitis, localized tetanus, serum electrolyte level abnormalities, strychnine poisoning, angioedema, malingering, catatonia, and conversion.
