Abstract
Background
Iloperidone, a second-generation antipsychotic has been approved for the management of schizophrenia. Although it has been found well-tolerated multiple side effects have been reported.
Objectives
I report a case of iloperidone-induced urinary incontinence in a Bangladeshi female.
Method
This patient has been taking psychiatric consultations for the last five years. After developing the side effect, informed consent was taken, details of history were obtained, and routine physical examination and mental status of the patient was performed.
Results
I report a case of 20 years old female who developed urinary incontinence due to iloperidone. Her symptoms improved after discontinuing the drug.
Conclusion
This is the first case, reporting urinary incontinence caused by iloperidone in a patient with schizophrenia which could be an effect of bladder neck dysfunction due to the high alpha 1 receptor blockade.
期刊介绍:
Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research publishes original papers and reviews in
biological psychiatry,
brain research,
neurology,
neuropsychiatry,
neuropsychoimmunology,
psychopathology,
psychotherapy.
The journal has a focus on international and interdisciplinary basic research with clinical relevance. Translational research is particularly appreciated. Authors are allowed to submit their manuscript in their native language as supplemental data to the English version.
Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research is related to the oldest German speaking journal in this field, the Centralblatt fur Nervenheilkunde, Psychiatrie und gerichtliche Psychopathologie, founded in 1878. The tradition and idea of previous famous editors (Alois Alzheimer and Kurt Schneider among others) was continued in modernized form with Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research. Centralblatt was a journal of broad scope and relevance, now Neurology, Psychiatry & Brain Research represents a journal with translational and interdisciplinary perspective, focusing on clinically oriented research in psychiatry, neurology and neighboring fields of neurosciences and psychology/psychotherapy with a preference for biologically oriented research including basic research. Preference is given for papers from newly emerging fields, like clinical psychoimmunology/neuroimmunology, and ideas.
