Abstract
Although heatstroke commonly occurs in summer, herein, we present a case of heatstroke that occurred in March. The patient has been schizophrenic for over 20 years and has been receiving long-term medications, such as lithium carbonate, clozapine, and lorazepam. We analyzed the evolution of her cerebellar magnetic resonance imaging characteristics to determine the association of heatstroke in schizophrenia. Patients with schizophrenia are at high risk for developing heatstroke, possibly due to the use of antipsychotic drugs.
