A rare case of tardive dyskinesia complicated by a tongue ulcer is reported in an elderly male Nigerian. The diagnosis of this condition is based purely on clinical information. The need for early recognition of this ailment by clinicians is highlighted, in order to forestall more severe orofacial complications. Prompt referral for psychiatric evaluation and inter­vention is also emphasized.
