Quetiapine for hypersexuality and delusional jealousy after stroke.

To the Editors: Hypersexuality and psychotic symptoms are occasionally associated with Parkinson’s disease, dopamine agonist therapy for Parkinson’s disease, dementia, and temporal lobe seizures, but rarely with stroke. Although some studies have shown that quetiapine is effective in treating psychosis and motor functions in Parkinson’s disease, as far as we know, there have not been any treatment response studies in the area of hypersexuality and psychosis after a stroke. We present a case in which hypersexuality and delusional jealousy after a stroke were successfully managed with quetiapine.
