ABSTRACT
Lipoid proteinosis (LP) is an uncommon, recessively inherited disorder. The disease usually has its onset in the newborn period and is manifested by hoarseness. The skin and mucous membrane involvement arises between the first and second year of age. A 14-year-old male presented with the complaint of blistering on various sites of his skin, from the age of 12 months, resulting in scarring. Ophthalmological and psychiatric findings also appeared during the clinical course. The histological findings of skin biopsy included extensive deposits of amorphous eosinophilic material in the papillary dermis. No known therapy exists for LP.

Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors are indicated in a group of psychiatric disor ders childhood. Data about their use in the treatment of enuresis also exist. Voiding disorders related to their use have been reported. We present five patients in whom bed-wetting was observed during a treatment with a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor with or without risperidone, drawing attention to a possible side effect of this group of drugs.
