Abstract
The authors report three eases - one of them lethal - of intestinal oc clusion among 30 patients tp eated with clozapine between 1991 and 199 4 in Chalons-sur-Marne Psychiatric Hospital. The responsability of clo zapine seems to be linked with its potent anticholinergic property. Th e attention of prescriptors is necessary and the monitoring of the dru g should not be limited to the hematologic aspect.
