Since then&#44; researchers have pointed to other drugs&#44; including antiemetics&#44; antidepressants&#44; benzodiazepines&#44; cholinesterase inhibitors&#44; and almost all dopaminergic drugs&#44;

with a history of episodes of vertigo and a one-year history of mild cognitive impairment&#44; for which she was under follow-up at another hospital&#46; Neuroimaging findings were suggestive of NPH&#46; The patient attended the emergency department due to acute-onset lateral deviation of the trunk following a single 16<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg dose of betahistine to treat a vertigo episode similar to those she had previously experienced&#46; She had no further symptoms and was taking no other drugs&#46; The general physical examination revealed no other abnormalities&#46; In the neurological examination&#44; we observed a leftward inclination of the trunk and normal vestibular manoeuvres&#46; A cranial CT scan displayed mild cortical atrophy and increased ventricular volume&#44; with no signs of trasudate&#46; Within 24<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>hours of betahistine withdrawal&#44; the patient&#39;s posture returned to normal and she remained completely asymptomatic&#46; The patient was lost to follow-up following discharge&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Past drug exposure is a highly valuable criterion for demonstrating the cause of potential adverse drug reactions&#59; however&#44; we must also consider biological plausibility&#44; consistency&#44; and the statistical strength of the association&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> The reproduction of symptoms supports a proposed association&#59; however&#44; given the paramount importance of ethics in the field of medicine&#44; this was not considered in the present case&#46; Clinical suspicion and communication are therefore crucial in these cases&#44; despite the evidential limitations of reporting isolated clinical cases&#46; It is also necessary to verify causality&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This is the first published case of PS occurring subsequently to a single 16<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg dose of betahistine&#44; in a patient with several noteworthy characteristics&#46; Firstly&#44; the patient was under follow-up for mild cognitive impairment at another centre&#59; this may be related to Alzheimer disease or to NPH&#44; given the clinical and neuroimaging findings&#46; Both Alzheimer disease and NPH have been described as potential causes of PS&#59; there is also a possibility of patients being affected by both conditions&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#44;10</span></a> Secondly&#44; the acute onset and subsequent complete recovery following withdrawal of the drug is suggestive of a connection&#46; Thirdly&#44; the patient reported several previous episodes of vertigo with similar characteristics&#59; these were treated with betahistine&#44; with no trunk deviation&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The pathophysiology of PS is not fully understood&#46; It has been suggested that the acute or subacute onset of PS following ingestion of specific drugs may be similar to the case of dystonia&#44; given the good response to anticholinergics or reducing the dosage of the drug involved&#46; This may point to an imbalance between dopamine and choline levels&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Drugs acting on such neurotransmitters as norepinephrine and serotonin may also have a role&#59; however&#44; the mechanism involved is unknown&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> Chronic forms of PS have been described in patients with such neurodegenerative conditions as Parkinson&#39;s disease&#46; The suggested mechanisms include alteration of proprioceptive sensory feedback&#44; peripheral vestibular hypofunction&#44; impaired subjective visual vertical&#44; and even musculoskeletal disorders&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a></p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In patients with Alzheimer disease&#44;

PS symptoms may be related to compromised periventricular blood flow&#44; decreased dopamine levels in the substantia nigra&#44; or damage to the striatal GABAergic neurons&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> This mechanism may be involved in the present case&#59; however&#44; the acute onset of the condition after the dose of betahistine and the complete recovery following withdrawal would appear to suggest the involvement of multiple mechanisms&#46; The histaminergic system could&#44; therefore&#44; be an additional factor&#44; with betahistine being the trigger for PS in this patient&#46; We should also note that in the previous episodes of vertigo&#44; the patient took betahistine and did not experience PS&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We would therefore suggest that the onset of mild cognitive impairment may affect the action of betahistine by causing imbalances in the neurotransmission systems involved in postural control&#44; triggering PS&#46;</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In animal models&#44; betahistine acts as a partial histamine H<span class="elsevierStyleInf">1</span> receptor agonist&#44; increasing vestibular blood flow and histamine turnover&#44; and as an H<span class="elsevierStyleInf">3</span> receptor antagonist&#44; promoting histamine release in the central nervous system&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0115"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> The rat striatum contains a high concentration of H<span class="elsevierStyleInf">3</span> receptors&#44;

Some studies have described betahistine acting as a postsynaptic antagonist&#44; with H<span class="elsevierStyleInf">3</span> agonism resulting in motor inhibition and H<span class="elsevierStyleInf">3</span> antagonism increasing motor activity through coactivation of the D<span class="elsevierStyleInf">1</span> and D<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span> receptors&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> In the context of these observations&#44; the antidystonic effects of such H<span class="elsevierStyleInf">1</span> receptor antagonists as diphenhydramine suggest that histamine may be involved in dystonia&#46; However&#44; the literature includes very few reports of dystonia secondary to betahistine use&#44; despite the frequent use of the drug to treat vertigo in our setting&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#44;3</span></a></p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; we suspect that in this patient with amnesiac mild cognitive impairment&#44; betahistamine may have caused an imbalance in the vestibular pathways&#44; the striatal circuitry&#44; or both&#44; causing a deviation of the trunk and triggering PS&#46;</p></span>"
