Abstract
|
|
|
The authors described a case of male schizophrenia who developed myoclonic jerk
repeatedly and one episode of convulsive seizure during the treatment of clozapine.
According to literatures and reported cases, myoclonic jerks induced in a small amount
of clozapine may precede and predict the development of a convulsive seizure. Therefore
clinicians have to pay attention to the development of a myoclonic jerk during the
administration of clozapine. They may decrease the dosage of clozapine step by step at
first in the convulsive state, and observe EEG changes of patients frequently.
