Abstract

Acute pancreatitis due to antipsychotic treatment is a rare but serious complication. Risperidone is among the rarest atypical antipsychotics associated with acute pancreatitis. Here, we report the case of acute pancreatitis developing 2 years after the use of Risperidone in a young man with schizophrenia. The mechanism and the time of occurrence in this case are at odds with what is generally reported in the literature.

Keywords: Acute pancreatitis; Atypical antipsychotics; Drug induced pancreatitis; Risperidone; Schizophrenia.
