Summary

A case of atypical optic neuropathy was evaluated after a patient experienced blurred vision post-antiarrhythmic agent use. Promptly investigating drug intake and discontinuing the medication can prevent further optic nerve damage.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Investigating an atypical optic neuropathy case presenting with blurred vision.
  • Linking the condition to the use of an antiarrhythmic agent.

Observation:

  • Ophthalmological examination revealed unilateral optic disc edema.
  • Routine blood tests, imaging, and visual field tests were normal.
  • Orbital ultrasonography confirmed optic disc edema without other orbital pathology.

Findings:

  • The patient presented with blurred vision and unilateral optic disc edema.
  • No other systemic or orbital pathologies were identified.
  • The optic neuropathy was suspected to be associated with the antiarrhythmic medication.

Implications:

  • Systemic history and drug intake are crucial in diagnosing optic disc edema.
  • Discontinuation of offending medications is vital to prevent further optic nerve damage and contralateral eye involvement.
