Abstract
- A newer atypical antipsychotic, aripiprazole has been shown to be effective in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. A 44-year-old woman who developed psychotic symptoms and parkinsonism a month after carbon monoxide poisoning and did not respond to other atypical antipsychotics, was successfully treated with aripiprazole. This case suggests that aripiprazole may be helpful to those developed psychotic symptoms and movement disorders associated with toxic brain injury such as carbon monoxide poisoning.
