Abstract

Priapism is characterized by a prolonged and painful erection in the absence of sexual desire and arousal. Priapism is a rare and serious side effect of psychotropic drugs, and is thought to be attributable to blockage of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in the corpus cavernosum. Although priapism is commonly associated with typical antipsychotics, there are some (but not many) case reports of priapism due to atypical antipsychotics. This side effect has been reported in patients taking ziprasidone, risperidone, clozapine, quetiapine, aripiprazole, and olanzapine. Not all antipsychotics bind to alpha-1 adrenergic receptors with the same intensity; as compared to other antipsychotics, quetiapine has an intermediate affinity. Priapism could be considered an idiosyncratic reaction, because it is correlated neither with the dose nor duration of psychotropic drug use. Herein we present a case of priapism caused by a single 300-mg dose of quetiapine, and a brief review priapism in the light of this case.

Özet

Priapizm cinsel istek ve uyarı olmaksızın penisteki ağrılı ve uzun süreli sertleşme durumudur. Priapizm psikotrop ilaçların yol açtığı nadir fakat ciddi bir yan etkidir ve bu durumun korpus kavernozumdaki alfa1-adrenerjik reseptörlerdeki blokaja bağlı olduğu düşünülmektedir. Antipsikotikler içerisinde daha çok tipik antipsikotiklerin priapizm yan etkisi sıklıkla vurgulanmasına karşın sık olmasa da ikinci kuşak antipsikotiklerin de priapizme neden olduğu yönünde olgu sunumlarına rastlanmaktadır. Atipik antipsikotikler içerisinde ziprasidon, risperidon, klozapin, ketiapin, aripiprazol ve olanzapinin priapizme neden olabileceği konusunda olgu sunumları mevcuttur. Bütün antipsikotiklerin alfa1-adrenerjik reseptör blokajı aynı düzeyde değildir, ketiapinin alfa-1 reseptör blokajı diğer antipsikotiklerle kıyaslandığında orta düzeydedir. Priapizm antipsikotiklerle tedavinin herhangi bir aşamasında, doz ve süreden bağımsız olarak ortaya çıkabilen özel bir durumdur. Bu yazıda 300 mg dozda ketiapin alan hastada ortaya çıkan priapizm olgusu sunulacak ve bu olgu ışığında atipik antipsikotiklerin neden olduğu priapizm ile ilgili kısa bir gözden geçirme yapılacaktır.
