“…[ 4 5 ] Lithium used previously for treating various psychiatric disorders was known to lead to this complication more frequently. [ 7 ] Hutcheon reported a case of a 7-year-old patient who developed bilateral papilledema while taking sertraline hydrochloride, an SSRI, for an anxiety disorder. [ 5 ] Mirtazapine, another antidepressant thought to have similar mechanism of action like SSRIs, has also been reported to cause intracranial hypertension.…”

Drug-induced intracranial hypertension is a well-established entity. We report a rare case of intracranial hypertension with papilledema in a 10-year-old boy following use of fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. On discontinuing the drug, the papilledema resolved over 4 months without any residual visual anomalies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of fluvoxamine-induced intracranial hypertension with papilledema.

“…Another more recently recognized medication found to cause IIH is all-trans retinoic acid, used as a treatment in leukemia. 28,29 Additional medications that have been proposed to be associated with IIH include lithium, 30,31 cyclosporine, [32][33][34][35] cytarabine, 36 and nalidixic acid. 37 Endocrinopathy Associated IIH in the setting of untreated Addison disease has been reported, with improvement after treatment of the underlying condition.…”

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) of unknown cause. In adults, this is associated with female gender and obesity. Symptoms may include headaches, diplopia, pulsatile tinnitus, and vision loss due to papilledema. Children may develop IIH, although the demographics of prepubescent children with IIH appear to be distinct from older children, being independent of gender and obesity. Recent diagnostic criteria have been established specifically for children with IIH, including a different normal range of ICP in children. Treatments may include weight loss, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, or surgical procedures. The visual prognosis of children treated appropriately is generally good.

Lityumun nörolojik yan etkileri Lityum 1940'lı yılların sonuna doğru Avustralya'lı bilim adamı John Cade'in çalışmaları sonucunda iki uçlu mizaç bozukluğunda yaygın olarak kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Terapötik aralığının dar olması kullanımını kısıtlasa da iki uçlu bozukluk tedavisinde en önemli ilaçlardan biridir. Terapötik aralığının dar olmasından dolayı lityum zehirlenmesine sık rastlanır. Lityum kullanımı ile midebarsak, kalp-damar, dermatolojik, endokrinolojik ve sinir sistemlerini ilgilendiren birçok yan etki gelişebilmektedir. Gerek zehirlenmede gerekse normal serum düzeylerinde sinir sistemi ile ilgili yan etkilere sıklıkla rastlanmaktadır. Sinir sistemi ile ilgili yan etkiler lityum tedavisinin nadir olmayan, ancak en az tanınan yan etkilerindendir. Merkezi sinir sistemi ile ilgili yan etkiler hastanın ilaca uyumu konusunda önemli bir sorun teşkil etmektedir. Bu derlemenin amacı lityum kullanımı ya da zehirlenmesine bağlı ortaya çıkan sık ve az görülen nörolojik yan etkilerin gözden geçirilmesidir.
