title: A case of pseudo-Stauffer's syndrome related to asenapine use.
abstract: The authors present a case of suspected pseudo-Stauffer's syndrome in a male with treatment refractory schizoaffective disorder following asenapine use. We discuss our management of this case, and believe knowing about this potential adverse effect and it's management could be useful for clinicians.
