  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 With the view of recording it in medical literature, we report a case of an outpatient with schizophrenia who presented hyponatremia induced by pimozide. The patient was a 61-year-old Japanese female who had taken 2 mg/day of pimozide for more than 20 years since 1974 because of auditory hallucination and delusions of persecution. In June of 1994, she suddenly showed disturbance of consciousness, speech disturbance, gait disturbance, convulsion and projectile vomiting. Laboratory data showed 118 mEq/ l of serum natrium, 10,800/mm3 of WBC, 376×104/mm3 of RBC, 11.4g/d/ of Hb and 33.5% of Ht. Computed tomography examination showed a slightly edematous image of the brain but there was no bleeding. After admission, her general condition immediately improved with slow correction of serum hyponatrium by fluid therapy. On the 8 th day she was discharged without any symptoms or remaining abnormal laboratory data.

 There have been reports that haloperidol, fluphenazine, thioridazine, amitriptyline, desipramine and carbamazepine have induced compulsive water drinking, water intoxication and hyponatremia, but, to our knowledge, there has been only one report of pimozide-induced hyponatremia in the field of pediatrics and no previous report in psychiatry.
