ABSTRACT
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease that results in an increased risk of fragility fractures. Bisphosphonates are commonly used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Concerns about their association with several possible adverse effects have been raised. Here, we experienced a rare case regarding a 63-year-old female patient who had localized amnesia related to once-monthly oral risedronate. A clear cause-and-effect relationship between the treatment of risedronate and this event has not been established and the mechanism behind the adverse effect is unknown. As clinical uses of bisphosphonates continue to expand, clinicians should be aware of the rare but potential adverse effects associated with bisphosphonates including neuropsychiatric problems.
