Quetiapine induced severe nasal congestion – case report
Abstract
Nasal congestion is a known but likely underreported side effect of antipsychotic treatment and is not captured by most side-effect interviews or rating scales. Although usually benign, it can in some cases lead to substantial discomfort. We report a case of a young patient with quetiapine-induced nasal congestion in whom surgical intervention was avoided by switching medication.
