Abstract

We showed a 36-year-old male patient suffering from acute pelvic pain responding to escitalopram but not to anti-inflammatory drugs. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing the effects of escitalopram on acute pelvic pain. Further studies are required to substantiate the present findings.
