ABSTRACT
Lithium may cause toxicity as it has a narrow therapeutic range. Lithium intoxication may manifest in the form of acute, acute on chronic and chronic intoxication. Neurotoxicity is a common component of chronic lithium intoxication and the symptoms include tremor, ataxia, dysarthria, extrapyramidal symptoms, hyperreflexia, seizures and status epilepticus. Although rare, catatonia could as a manifestation of lithium neurotoxicity. In this report, we present a patient with bipolar disorder presenting with catatonic symptoms secondary to lithium intoxication. We will discuss the risk factors, differential diagnosis and the treatment of catatonic symptoms. Lithium neurotoxicity may present with various clinical symptoms including catatonia, and differential diagnosis should be made well in such cases. If lithium neurotoxicity is suspected, rapid and appropriate intervention is required to prevent permanent neurological damage. Keywords: Lithium, Neurotoxicity, Catatonia.
