Herein, we report a patient developing peripheral edema along with pericardial effusion following olanzapine administration which is, as far as we know, the first case in the literature.

Accuracy of bioimpedance vector analysis and brain natriuretic peptide in detection of peripheral edema in acute and chronic heart failure.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, peripheral edema, cough, headache, fatigue, abdominal pain.

Heart failure, renal failure, malabsorpsion, liver failure, allergic reactions, local inflammation and infections, burns, lymphatic obstruction increased capillary permeability, venous obstruction and drugs can cause peripheral edema (7).

On physical examination, there was jugular venous distention and trace peripheral edema. Auscultation of the lungs was significant for mildly diminished breath sounds in bilateral lower lobes with bibasilar crepitations.

Typical symptoms included mild peripheral edema of the limbs typically lasting 3 days.

Occurrence of peripheral edema is the major reason for poor adherence with amlodipine.

Chronic peripheral edema is a very common yet underestimated problem (1).

A case series of dose-limiting peripheral edema observed in patients treated with pemetrexed.

However, diuretics are effective in eliminating the severity of peripheral edema; they further reduce venous return and preload in animals with pericarditis (Reef, 2009).

The study population was too small to draw conclusions regarding adverse events, but patients who received active treatment had a higher rate of dermatitis exacerbations and peripheral edema than did those who received placebo.

Rales, peripheral edema, retinal hemorrhage and acute mountain sickness.

observed that in 20 patients with antibodies to NXP-2 dysphagia and peripheral edema were present in 74% and 35%, respectively [10].

Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a multiloculated lesion 50 mm x 40 mm in size, hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on both T2 and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images at the left parieto-occipital region with peripheral edema. Contrast enhancement was also suggestive of an abscess formation (Fig.

We did not see peripheral edema in any patient although Maggiorini et al described peripheral edema as a common sign of AMS16.
