Background: Copulatory or pelvic thrusting dyskinesia is a subtype of tardive dyskinesia (TD) which is caused by exposure to dopamine blocking agents. Phenomenology shown: A man exhibiting rhythmic, stereotypical pelvic thrusting movements. Educational value: Recognition of copulatory dyskinesia as a distinctive iatrogenic disorder helps prevent unnecessary investigations and guides the implementation of corrective strategies.
