Patients with dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy occasionally elicit psychosis. So far, one study reported first generation antipsychotics drugs may provide an effective treatment; however, there is no literature on the benefits of second generation antipsychotics. We report on a 44-year-old man with dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy whose psychotic symptoms were effectively treated with olanzapine. Our observation suggests some second generation antipsychotics provide a therapeutic option for ameliorating psychosis in dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy.
