Methylphenidate-Induced Raynaud’s Phenomenon In Two Cases With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Öz

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood, for which there are several different treatment options. Among the suggested medications, methylphenidate (a central nervous system stimulant) is the first option in the treatment of ADHD. Psychostimulants are associated with various vascular problems including peripheral vasculopathy. This report describes two patients with ADHD who developed Raynaud's phenomenon during the modified-release methylphenidate treatment.

Dikkat Eksikliği / Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu Olan İki Olguda Metilfenidat Kaynaklı Raynaud Fenomeni

Öz

Dikkat eksikliği / hiperaktivite bozukluğu, çocukluk çağında çok sayıda farklı tedavi seçeneği bulunan yaygın bir nörogelişimsel bozukluktur. Önerilen ilaçlar arasında metilfenidat (bir santral sinir sistemi stimülasyonu) DEHB tedavisinde ilk seçenektir. Psikostimülanlar, periferik vaskülopati dahil olmak üzere çeşitli vasküler problemlerle ilişkilidir. Bu raporda, modifiye salınımlı metilfenidat tedavisi sırasında Raynaud fenomeni geliştiren iki DEHB hastası sunulmaktadır.
