RESUMO
Background: Donepezil, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor commonly used to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD), is generally well tolerated. There have been no previous reports on donepezil-induced obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Case Presentation: The patient, a retired man in his 70s diagnosed with AD, displayed OCD symptoms following donepezil initiation, exacerbating post-stroke-specifically, a cerebral infarction in the right posterior limb of the internal capsule. Remarkably, the symptoms abated upon discontinuation of donepezil. Conclusion: Caution should be exercised when using donepezil in patients with a history of stroke.
