Abstract
- Atenolol is a beta1-selective adrenoreceptor blocking agent which is generally thought of as cardioselective, with little CNS action, because it has hydrophilic solubility rather than lipophilic. But recently, it has been reported that atenolol also can cause CNS side effect, especially in the patient with past neuropsychiatric history, old age, or underlying cerebral lesion. This 59-year-old female case demonstrated that atenolol could be an etiological agent of visual hallucination in a elderly patient with cerebral infarction.
