Lithium encephalopathy: a clinical, psychiatric, and EEG evaluation
J Fetzer, G Kader and S Danahy
The authors present three cases in which lithium, in combination with a
neuroleptic, is implicated in inducing an organic brain syndrome.
Subsequent withdrawal of lithium reversed the clinical and EEG picture in
the two patients seen in follow-up.
