Résumé

Le trouble obsessionnel-compulsif est une affection grave et difficile à traiter. Plusieurs études récentes ont montré une efficacité de certains antidépresseurs, particulièrement sérotoninergiques. Cependant, certains travaux plaident également pour un rôle des voies noradrénergiques. Nous discutons ici l'essai d'un nouvel antidépresseur, le milnacipran, à action noradrénergique et sérotoninergique, chez une patiente atteinte d'un trouble obsessionnel-compulsif rebelle. Le rôle possible de la médication dans la très nette amélioration de la symptomatologie obsessionnelle et dépressive est discuté.

Summary

Summary

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a severe pathology which is difficult to treat. Several recent studies have shown the efficacy of some antidepressants, particularly of the serotonergic type. Other findings, however, suggest a role for the noradrenergic neurotransmission. We present a trial using a new antidepressant, milnacipran, with both noradrenergic and serotonergic activity, in a patient presenting treatment-resistant obsessive compulsive disorders. The role of the drug in the marked improvement of the patient's symptomatology is discussed.
