[Metoclopramide intolerance and oral manifestations].

Metoclopramide is a widely used product, which can accidentally cause acute dyskinesia, of which several forms may be observed, including dysarthria, tetany, spasmophilia, false cerebral vascular insult, trismus, hysteriform spell.... In all those cases, one should think of giving an antiemetic and of properly orienting history-taking, thus avoiding a longer stay in hospital that would not be justified. This is demonstrated by two patients recently admitted into the department of maxillofacial surgery and stomatology with maxillofacial signs related with the adverse effects of this kind of drug.
