N2  - We report the case of a patient who co-ingested a tricyclic antidepressant (amitriptyline), benzodiazepines (alprazolam and lormetazepam) and a neuroleptic drug (prothipendyl). Major neurologic and cardiac symptoms occurred including a prolonged cardiac arrest. The cardiopulmonary resuscitation phase was complicated by a haematoma of the liver treated by a left hepatectomy. The clinical features and management of this combined intoxication are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
