摘要：

The authors describe a series of 22 patients with dementia and behavioral disturbances, including agitation, aggression, delusions, and hallucinations, who were treated with risperidone. Risperidone, in low doses, was well tolerated; 50% of patients experienced significant improvement, although 50% experienced some extrapyramidal symptoms.
