Abstract

Kekemelik; her yaşta ortaya çıkabilen, kişinin yaşına ve dil becerilerine uygun olmayan, konuşmanın akıcılığı ve zamanlamasındaki bir bozulma olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Etyolojisinde birçok faktör rol oynamaktadır. İlaçlar da bunlardan biridir. Atomoksetin çocuk ve ergenlerde DEHB tedavisinde sıklıkla tercih edilen ve iyi tolere edilebilen bir ilaçtır. Kekemelik, atomoksetin kullanımı sırasında sık görülen bir yan etki değildir. Bu yazıda 7 yaşında, atomoksetin kullanımı sırasında kekemeliğin belirgin bir şekilde kötüleştiği bir olgu sunulacaktır. Bu olgu için atomoksetin kullanımı sırasında kekemeliğin kötüleştiği çok az sayıda vaka bulunması nedeniyle bildirimde bulunulmuştur.

Stuttering worsened with atomoxetine treatment in a child with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder

Abstract

Stuttering; is defined as a deterioration in the fluency and timing of speech that can occur at any age, and which is inappropriate to the individual’s age and language skills. Several factors play a role in its etiology. Medications are one such factor. Atomoxetine is a drug that is frequently employed and well- tolerated in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and adolescents. Stuttering is not a common side- effect when using atomoxetine. This report describes, a seven-year-old patient whose stuttering worsened significantly during atomoxetine use. This case is reported due to the scarcity of cases in which stuttering worsened during the use of atomoxetine.
