RESUMO
Clozapine is well-known for successful use in schizophrenic patients treatment resistant to other antipsychotics. However, even with clozapine, 25% of schizophrenic patients are not in remission. Recently, as adjunctive treatment with clozapine, electroconvulsive therapy has been reported to be an effective and safe adjunctive treatment. We report a Japanese schizophrenic woman who was not in remission with clozapine alone but with both clozapine and electroconvulsive therapy.

RESUMO
We present a schizophrenic patient who experienced neuroleptic malignant syndrome with risperidone treatment due to variants of the CYP2D6 gene with reduced function. Clinicians need to be aware of this potential complication.
