    Author: Devresse A, Maldague P, Coulier B, Pierard F, Gielen I.
    Journal: Acta Gastroenterol Belg; 2012 Jun; 75(2):263-5. PubMed ID: 22870793.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 26-year-old man with schizoid personality disorder who suffered from a very focal and transparietal necrosis of the sigmoid after an overdose of atypical neuroleptics. This is a singular, rather unknown and potentially lethal side effect of these drugs. The physiopathology of this complication is multifactorial.
