Clozapine-Induced Stuttering: Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic with proven efficacy in the management of treatment-resistant schizophrenia. It has well-documented side effects, including agranulocytosis, myocarditis, epileptic seizures, and secondary metabolic disturbances. Additionally, it is known to have rare secondary side effects, such as stuttering, which has been documented in several case reports. This case highlights the importance for clinicians to be aware of clozapine-induced stuttering, even in the absence of known risk factors, and emphasizes the necessity for future research to investigate the pathophysiology of clozapine-induced stuttering [1].
