Effective treatment with low-dose fluvoxamine for obsessive-compulsive disorder after neurosurgery: a case report.

Four years after the operation, her obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms showed a remarkable reduction within a week of starting low-dose fluvoxamine, without any behavioral or psychological treatment.
