Transient camptocormia with citalopram treatment in a patient with mixed dementia–A case report

Inbal Segal, Galia Fisher RN and Doron Merims*

This case report reviews a patient who suffered mixed dementia with depression. The addition of citalopram to the medication regimen was shortly followed by the manifestation of camptocormia, or “bent-spine.” Clinical findings available, without attempting invasive diagnostic procedures, point to a citalopram induced camptocormia. The frequent use of SSRI medications in the geriatric population call for an increased awareness of the possibility of SSRI induced postural side effects.
