A bee sting caused optic neuritis, leading to vision loss. Prompt corticosteroid treatment resulted in a full recovery of vision and visual evoked potential (VEP) function.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Optic neuritis, inflammation of the optic nerve, can cause significant visual impairment.
  • Bee stings are a rare but potential cause of ocular inflammation and neurological complications.

Observation:

  • A 46-year-old male experienced sudden vision loss in his left eye following a bee sting to the conjunctiva.
  • Clinical examination revealed optic disc swelling, and pattern visual evoked potential (VEP) showed delayed P100 wave latency.

Findings:

  • The patient received prompt treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone, followed by oral prednisolone.
  • Within two days, visual acuity returned to 20/20, P100 latency normalized, and visual field and color vision tests showed no abnormalities.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the efficacy of early corticosteroid therapy in managing bee sting-induced optic neuritis.
  • Prompt intervention can lead to complete visual recovery, preventing long-term vision deficits.
