Abstract

Topiramate is an anti-epileptic drug used to treat some psychiatric disorders. Among its possible side effects is anhidrosis, which in some cases is linked to cases of hyperthermia. This paper reports the case of a 11 year-old boy diagnosed with a impulse control disorder. During the course of treatment with topiramate the boy presented symptoms of hyperthermia associated with anhidrosis, coinciding with the hottest months of the year in his home city, requiring the suspension of the drug in order to bring the symptoms under control.
