Traditionally, high-potency neuroleptics such as haloperidol have been used with success in the treatment of organic brain syndromes, but they have been associated with significant side effects such as EPS. We present the first case reports of a newer antipsychotic, risperidone, in the treatment of two delirious patients. Risperidone may prove to be an effective alternative to haloperidol in delirious patients, especially the elderly and the severely medically ill, who are more prone to adverse effects. Two case histories are presented, one of a 60-year-old man and the other of a 14-year-old boy in whom delirium was successfully treated with low doses of risperidone.
传统上，高效能抗精神病药物如氟哌啶醇已成功用于治疗器质性脑综合征，但它们与诸如锥体外系反应等显著副作用相关联。我们呈现了首例关于新型抗精神病药物利培酮治疗两名谵妄患者的病例报告。在谵妄患者中，尤其是更易出现不良反应的老年人和重症患者，利培酮可能被证明是氟哌啶醇的有效替代药物。本文介绍了两个病例，一个是60岁男性，另一个是14岁男孩，他们均使用低剂量利培酮成功治疗了谵妄。
