Abstract
Edema associated with quetiapine has been described in only one case report to date and represents a potentially serious adverse reaction.
We present a case series of 3 patients who developed bilateral leg edema following initiation of quetiapine.
One of these patients had a recurrence of edema with subsequent rechallenge. Another patient developed quetiapine-induced edema following a prior episode of olanzapine-induced edema. All 3 cases present a compelling temporal relationship between the drug challenge and the adverse event.
Prompt recognition and intervention with discontinuation of the offending agent is important for this potentially serious, seemingly idiosyncratic vascular complication.
