Abstract

Methylphenidate, which blocks the presynaptic norepinephrine and

dopamine transporters, is the most common used medication and

offered as first choice in the treatment guidelines of attention deficit

hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). One of its rarely seen adverse

effects is, hallucinations that can be formed idiosyncratically,

which can be correlated with increased dopaminergic functioning

in synaptic cleft. We will present an eight year old boy diagnosed

with ADHD-combined type, and oppositional defiant disorder

(ODD) with no previous medical and family history who has

impulsively taken extra dose of methylphenidate in the course of

usual drug treatment. The acute hallucinosis presentation which

has subsided the next day completely with the cessation of drug

treatment will be discussed.

Abstract

Presinaptik norepinefrin ve dopamin taşıyıcılarını bloke eden

metilfenidat, dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu (DEHB)

tedavisinde en sık kullanılan ve tedavi rehberlerinde birinci tercih

olarak sunulan ilaçtır. Nadir karşılaşılan yan etkilerinden biri de,

sinaptik aralıktaki artmış dopaminerjik işleyiş ile ilişkilendirilen,

idiosenkratik oluşabilen varsanılardır. Polikliniğimizde DEHBbileşik

tip ve karşıt olma karşı gelme bozukluğu (KOKGB) teşhisi

konularak metilfenidat tedavisine başladığımız, özgeçmiş ve

soygeçmişinde herhangi bir hastalık öyküsü bulunmayan sekiz

yaşındaki erkek bir çocukta, olağan ilaç tedavisi sırasında impulsif

bir şekilde aldığı fazladan bir doz kısa etkili metilfenidat ile

gelişen ve ilacın kesilmesiyle birlikte ertesi gün tümüyle gerileyen

halüsinoz tablosunu tartışacağız.
