Probable Miglustat-Induced Psychosis in a Child With Niemann-Pick Type C
Conclusion
Although a positive effect of miglustat on neurological and psychiatric symptoms has been reported, there exists a risk of psychosis being triggered. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of pediatric NP-C to develop psychosis after miglustat to be reported in literature. Further studies of such cases are needed to understand the impact of miglustat on psychiatric symptoms in NP-C.
