Abstract: Hypothermia is a rare adverse effect of risperidone and is associated with ventricular arrhythmias, which may lead to intensive care unit admission and sometimes death. We describe a patient with schizophrenia who was taking risperidone and who, after falling into a hypothermic state, suffered cardiac arrest. Observations of the case and a brief literature review are provided.
