title: Visual perseveration: a new side effect of maprotiline.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this paper is to describe a case of visual perseveration including palinopsia during maprotiline therapy.
  
  
  METHODS
  A single case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient, a 56-year-old depressive man, suffered from visual perseveration during maprotiline therapy. The visual perseveration was dose-related and disappeared with reduction and cessation of the therapy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The present findings suggest that maprotiline can induce visual perseveration including palinopsia in some patients.
