    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Pharmacology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Long-term lithium therapy is a common treatment for mood disorders.
    • Progressive intellectual deterioration can occur in some patients undergoing such treatment.

    Observation:

    • Two cases are presented where patients experienced intellectual decline during long-term lithium treatment.
    • Clinical, paraclinical, and fundamental arguments support the hypothesis of lithium-induced neurotoxicity.

    Findings:

    • Recent findings on lithium's impact on cerebral functioning are reviewed.
    • Analysis of the erythroplasmatic ratio and related factors supports the hypothesis of insidious neurotoxicity.

    Implications:

    • This research highlights the potential neurotoxic effects of long-term lithium therapy.
  • Further investigation into lithium's impact on cognitive function and the erythroplasmatic ratio is warranted.
