title: [Intractable menopausal disorders cured by veralipride (author's transl)].
abstract: We studied a case of surgical menopause in a hysterical patient. Castration was followed by depression with sexual disorders, somatic complaints, and specific menopausal manifestations, mainly hot flushes. Hysterectomy had been done a year earlier. Since then the patient had been admitted twice to a psychiatric ward following attempted suicide. Veralipride was given for twenty days. Noticeable improvement was recorded. Therapy was then discontinued for ten days. Symptoms recurred and long-lasting therapy was decided on. Subsequently, sustained overall improvement with disappearance of specific menopausal disorders, were recorded.
