Abstract

Disturbances of thermoregulation are a well-known side effect of neuroleptic treatment, especially hyperthermia. Hypothermia can occur also during treatment with neuroleptics. Now hypothermia is more and more due to atypical neuroleptics in relation to 5-HT2A antagonism. We report the case of a patient (92 years) suffering from dementia with a hypothermia during treatment with aripiprazole.
