Abstract:
Antipsychotic medications are associated with adverse cutaneous reactions (ACRs) in approximately 2-3% of patients. We present three cases of possible risperidone induced periorbital oedema in the absence of any other systemic or local cause responsible for the oedema. The development of periorbital oedema after the initiation of risperidone therapy, and disappearance after the discontinuation of this drug, suggests a possible causal relationship between periorbital oedema and risperidone. To our knowledge, there are very few reports of risperidone therapy and development of periorbital oedema. Risperidone is a valid and effective choice amongst antipsychotic medications, but these cases call for caution regarding ACRs at the time of prescribing.
