TLDR
Clinical findings available, without attempting invasive diagnostic procedures, point to a citalopram induced camptocormia, or "bent-spine", in a patient who suffered mixed dementia with depression.Abstract:
This case report reviews a patient who suffered mixed dementia with depression. The addition of citalopram to the medication regimen was shortly followed by the manifestation of camptocormia, or “bent-spine.” Clinical findings available, without attempting invasive diagnostic procedures, point to a citalopram induced camptocormia. The frequent use of SSRI medications in the geriatric population call for an increased awareness of the possibility of SSRI induced postural side effects.read more

TL;DR: Patients with camptocormia were characterised by prominent levodopa-unresponsive axial symptoms (ie, axial rigidity, gait disorder and postural instability), along with a tendency for greater error in the antisaccade paradigm, and it is suggested that the salient features of parkinsonism observed in patients with camps are likely to represent a specific form of Parkinson’s disease.
