description Abstract Objective The objective of this case report is to highlight the possibility of akathisia in any patient who has recently recovered from encephalitis and now presents with motor restlessness. Methods We describe a 15-year-old boy presenting with the onset of abnormal and excessive motor restlessness following successful resolution of encephalitis. After thorough investigations and repeated psychiatric examinaton patient was diagnosed as suffering from postencephalitic akathisia. Results Thioridazine proved of no help. Patient achieved near complete recovery after treatment with propanolol within 2 weeks. Conclusion Clinician should keep in mind that akathisia can have various etiologies and encephalitis may be the one of them. Propanolol is quite effective in patients with postencephalitic akathisia.
