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. Antipsychotics are prescription medications used to treat psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or psychotic depression.
Extrapyramidal Signs. Extrapyramidal signs and symptoms occur as a result of pathology in the basal ganglia. They should be differentiated from pyramidal signs, which occur following an upper motor neurone lesion. Some of the dyskinesias (abnormal movements) which occur following extrapyramidal pathology or treatment with antiparkinsonian medications are discussed in more detail in the 'Other movement disorders' article.
