Abstract

Cabergoline is a synthetic dopamine agonist used to treat Parkinson disease. The drug occasionally induces pleuropulmonary adverse effects, which manifest as pleural thickening or effusion, interstitial pneumonitis, pulmonary infiltrates, or fibrosis. We report a rare case of pleural effusion and severe pulmonary hypertension in a 79-year-old man with Parkinson disease who had been treated with cabergoline for 1 year. The symptoms disappeared 10 months after the drug was discontinued.

Keywords:

Resumen

La cabergolina es un fármaco sintético dopaminérgico, que se utiliza en el tratamiento de la enfermedad de Parkinson y que rara vez produce efectos adversos pleuropulmonares, los cuales se manifiestan como engrosamiento o derrame pleurales, neumonitis intersticial, infiltrados pulmonares o fibrosis. Presentamos un caso excepcional en un varón de 79 años con enfermedad de Parkinson, tratado con cabergolina durante un año, que presentó un derrame pleural y grave hipertensión pulmonar, que desaparecieron a los 10 meses de la retirada de este fármaco.
