    Author: Krähenmann R, Küchenhoff B, Böker H, Schick M.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 2010 Sep; 37(6):306-9. PubMed ID: 20803411.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The case of a schizoaffective patient suffering from a malignant catatonic syndrome following combined lithium-risperidone therapy is explored. METHOD: A case report and relevant deliberations regarding pathophysiology of the catatonic dilemma are discussed. CONCLUSIONS: There are two critical transitions in the development of a malignant catatonic syndrome. Dopaminergic system and psychopharmacological factors are supposed to play a key role. However, other neurotransmitter systems and the individual predisposition must be considered.
