Peripheral vasculopathy associated with psychostimulant treatment in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Zheya Jenny Yu et al. Curr Psychiatry Rep. 2010 Apr.

Abstract

Psychostimulants (methylphenidate and amphetamine salt) are the pharmacologic treatment of choice for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. However, psychostimulants have been linked to a variety of vascular problems, including peripheral vasculopathy. This article describes four boys with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder who developed vasculopathy during treatment with psychostimulants.
