Abstract
- Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug that can cause sinus tachycardia, hypotension, coma, etc. with overdose, and rarely convulsions, rhabdomyolysis and neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome usually occurs in association with hypertension, but can occur rarely in rhabdomyolysis accompanied by acute kidney injury and arginine vasopressin axis hyperstimulation. We report the experience of a patient hospitalized with a quetiapine overdose who developed drug-induced rhabdomyolysis and reversible encephalopathy without hypertension after acute renal injury.
