In some cases, doctors can't find the cause of the pleurisy. The most common cause of pleural effusion, or fluid in the pleural space, is congestive heart failure. Lung cancer, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and other lung infections also can cause swelling of the pleura and lead to a pleural effusion.
Extrapyramidal symptoms (also known as EPS) are a set of side effects that are common with antipsychotic medications, as well as with a few other types of medications.

Since it is difficult to measure extrapyramidal symptoms, rating scales are commonly used to assess the severity of movement disorder
