We present the case of a 26-year-old man with schizoid person- ality disorder who suffered from a very focal and transparietal necrosis of the sigmoid after an overdose of atypical neuroleptics. This is a singular, rather unknown and potentially lethal side effect of these drugs. The physiopathology of this complication is multifactorial. (Acta gastroenterol. belg., 2012, 75, 263-265). |
