Abstract
Clozapine has become a widely used drug in therapy resistant schizophr enia and, increasingly, in the levodopa-induced dyskinesias and the ps ychoses of chronic Parkinson's disease. We report the case of a 43 yea r old male patient who developed a reversible encephalopathy associate d with clozapine therapy.
