N2 - The treatment of aggressive symptoms in schizophrenic patients is a relevant clinical problem. We systematically review the efficacy of the different atypical neuroleptics on acute or persistent aggressive symptoms also regarding methodological problems. Currently typical neuroleptics are still first choice in treating acute aggressive symptoms, while risperidone and olanzapine could be alternatives. In persistent aggression clozapin shows the best specific results. Typical depot neuroleptics should be considered in cases when medication compliance is a problem.
