Electroencephalography in the monitoring of lithium toxicity: A case report
1Department of Psychiatry, Osaka General Medical Center, Osaka, Japan.
What Is Known And Objective:
If lithium toxicity occurs during treatment by lithium, treatment is performed while monitoring serum lithium levels.
Case Summary:
We report a case of lithium toxicity in a patient with bipolar affective disorder who developed neurotoxic symptoms associated with elevated serum lithium level and abnormal electroencephalography (EEG) changes. The elevated serum lithium level decreased before EEG normalization, which was associated with disappearance of all neurotoxic symptoms.
What Is New And Conclusion:
Monitoring EEG changes is useful for the diagnosis and treatment of lithium toxicity accompanied by abnormal EEG changes.
