Risperidone and nocturnal enuresis as a rare side effect

Abstract

For children and adolescents, risperidone is proposed to be an effective agent for treating many psychiatric disorders such as psychotic disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, conduct disorder and behavioral problems accompanying mental retardation. Excessive appetite, weight gain, and sedation are among the most common adverse effects; on the other hand risperidone-induced enuresis is rarely reported. A case with risperidone-induced enuresis will be presented and the results will be discussed using a number of relevant case studies from the literature.
