| Özet |
| Although catatonia is defined as a subtype of schizophrenia it may occur due to various medical conditions. Catatonic states associated with clozapine withdrawal have been described in a few cases. In this case report, a 46 year old man admitted to hospital in a catatonic state five days after discontinuing clozapine is presented. The patient has been diagnosed with residual schizophrenia for 30 years and he has been well maintained on clozapine for 10 years. The catatonia did not respond to ECT after 11 sessions but improved rapidly with the administration of clozapine. Catatonic states due to other etiological causes may present diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties in patients with schizophrenia. The importance of identifying such clinical conditions is underlined. |
