Quetiapine induced hair loss in an adolescent case

Saç dökülmesi psikotrop ilaçların sık görülen bir yan etkisidir. Ancak atipik antipsikotiklere bağlı saç dökülmesi ile ilgili yayın sayısı oldukça azdır ve olgu sunumlarıyla sınırlıdır. Bu yazıda, ketiyapin başlanması sonucu ortaya çıkan ve tedavinin sonlandırılmasıyla düzelen, yaygın saç dökülmesi olan 16 yaşında ergen kız olgu bildirilmiştir. Bildi- ğimiz kadarıyla olgumuz, ergenlik yaş grubunda ketiyapinle ilişkili saç dökülmesi olduğu bildirilen ilk olgudur.

Bir ergen olguda ketiyapin kullanımına bağlı saç dökülmesi

Hair loss is a frequently seen side-effect of psychotropic medicaments. Beside the psychotropic medicaments valproic acid and lithium, mostly blamed for alopecia, also cases due to use of antidepressants and typical/atypical antipsychotics have been reported. However, studies on alopecia caused by atypical antipsychotic drugs are scarce and limited by case reports. In this paper, a 16-year-old adolescent female patient developing diffuse alopecia asso- ciated with use of quetiapine and recovering after cessation of the medicament is presented. As far as we know, this is the first case reporting quetiapine-associated alopecia in an adolescent.
