title: [Ambulatory treatment of agitation in encephalopathies].
abstract: In a young patient with encephalopathy and major agitation, sultopride given in a daily dosage of two 400 mg tablets (associated with a corrector, trihexyphenidyl, CL drops nightly) ensured better vigilance, sedation of vociferations, agitation, and automutilation, and improvement of autonomy (particularly recovery of sphincter control). The excellent activity of sultopride was all the more noteworthy as many tranquilizers had failed previously.
