  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Aggressive behaviors represent a major manage-ment problem in patients with dementia. Neurolep-tics are commonly the selected psychotherapeutics for controlling severe aggression, especially the violent outbursts often seen in severely demented patients. But their efficacy for this problem is lim-ited and their use is frequently complicated by side effects. Anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine have been advocated as alternatives. Although sodium valproate can also be a potential alterna-tive, only a few cases were reported.

A 69-year-old man was admitted for the control of agitation, wandering and violence.
