Abstract
To our knowledge Pisa syndrome in childhood or adolescence has not previously been described. The syndrome developed in an adolescent girl following administration of neuroleptic medication for psychotic features, and was transiently thought to be abnormal illness behaviour. This case emphasises the need for early diagnosis and rapid effective treatment.
