Oral contraceptives may trigger acute macular neuroretinopathy, a rare vision condition. This case highlights the importance of considering medication history in diagnosing visual disturbances.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Acute macular neuroretinopathy is a rare condition affecting vision.
  • Differentiating it from optic neuritis can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A 32-year-old woman experienced sudden visual field loss.
  • Initial diagnosis considered optic neuritis, but brain MRI was normal.
  • She recently used oral contraceptives.

Findings:

  • Near-infrared imaging revealed the sole objective abnormality.
  • Findings correlated with Amsler grid changes.
  • Diagnosis of acute macular neuroretinopathy was established.

Implications:

  • This case suggests a potential link between oral contraceptive use and acute macular neuroretinopathy.
