title: [Apropos of a case of lithium overdose: physiopathologic approach to cardiac and neurologic manifestations].
abstract: We report the case of a patient who presented with cardiac and neurological signs of lithium toxicity as the result of an association with amitriptyline. These manifestations disappeared spontaneously as medication was stopped. We review the possible physiopathological mechanisms that could account for these adverse effects.
