OBJECTIVE
In comparison to metabolic syndrome, edema seems to be a rare occurrence in antipsychotic treatment.
METHODS
In this paper, we report on two subjects with psychotic disorders who were found to have peripheral edema during olanzapine therapy.
CONCLUSIONS
The theoretical background and the relevance of this observation are examined. Furthermore, edema as a side effect of antipsychotic treatment is reviewed. In particular, the importance of olanzapine, a commonly used neuroleptic drug, as a possible causative substance is evaluated.
