We describe seven patients with cocaine-induced movements, including choreoathetosis, akathisia, and parkinsonism with tremor. All were seen in 2 years at a municipal hospital, during which 701 visits were attributed to complications of cocaine. Dopaminergic changes are hypothesized to cause euphoria, addiction, and abnormal movements.
