Abstract

Alfuzosin hydrochloride is an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker drug. Common side effects of this drug include dizziness, headache, fatigue. This case describes a 56-year-old man who developed isolated diplopia after treatment with alfuzosine hydrochloride for benign prostate hyperplasia. The diplopia resolved after discontinuation of alfuzosine hydrochloride. To the best of our knowledge with literature research, this is the first reaported case of alfuzosine hydrochloride induced isolated diplopia. Patient's medical history and clinical examination are most important for finding the causes of diplopia. Alfuzosin is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and it should not be forgotten that this drug has systemic and ophthalmological side effects.

Özet

Alfuzosin hidroklorür, alfa-1 adrenerjik bloker bir ilaçtır. Sık görülen yan etkileri; baş dönmesi, baş ağrısı ve yorgunluk hissidir. Bu olgusunumunda prostat hiperplazisi tedavi amacıyla alfuzosin hidroklorür kullanan 56 yaşındaki bir erkek hastada gelişen izole diplopi anlatılmaktadır. İlaç kesildikten sonra diplopi tamamen gerilemiştir. Literatürden araştırdığımız ve bildiğimiz kadarıyla, alfuzosin hidroklorüre bağlı bildirilen ilk izole diplopi olgusudur. Hastalardan alınan anamnez ve yapılan klinik muayene diplopinin sebeplerini bulmak için oldukçaönemlidir. Alfuzosin hidroklorür, benign prostat hiperplazisi tedavisinde kullanılmakta olup, sistemik ve oftalmolojik yan etkileri akıldan çıkarılmamalıdır.
