A group of chronic schizophrenic patients receiving prolonged treatment with neuroleptics was assessed in 1978 at an outpatient clinic to determine the prevalence of Tardive Dyskinesia. Those with TD were reassessed after two and five years with regard to change in TD severity. The Smith scale was used every time and, on the last assessment, the AIMS scale and videotaped interviews were added. Because of the high attrition rate, results, though interesting, cannot be generalized.

Background: Despite efforts to visualize all the movements of tongue and oropharynx in individuals with focal movement disorders (specifically tardive dyskinesia (TD)), clinicians can miss the complete picture and additional tools may be required to reach an accurate diagnosis.
Cases: We present three cases with TD where ultrasound assisted in diagnoses. These individuals had difficulty swallowing and abnormal sensations in the tongue, which remained undiagnosed until we performed ultrasound of oropharynx which allowed for characterization of these movements.
