In the present open prospective study the effects of quetiapine were investigated in two elderly patients with parkinsonism and psychosis. Treatment induced a marked antipsychotic effect that coincided with an improvement of general motor functioning. These findings support the idea that quetiapine may be preferentially of use in the elderly with parkinson's disease and psychotic symptoms.
ResumenEn el presente estudio prospectivo al descubierto se investigaron los efectos de la quetiapina en dos pacientes ancianos con parkinsonismo y psicosis. El tratamiento indujo un acusado efecto antipsicótico que coincidió con una mejoría del funcionamiento motor general. Estos hallazgos apoyan la idea de que la quetiapina puede servir preferencialmente en los ancianos con enfermedad de Parkinson y síntomas psicóticos.
