    Alternating skew deviation, a rare eye movement disorder, was observed in a patient following Mandrax ingestion. This finding links specific drug use to this neurological symptom.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-ophthalmology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Alternating skew deviation is a vertical strabismus associated with brainstem or cerebellar lesions.
    • Previous reports linked ophthalmoplegia to diphenylhydantoin and amitriptyline, but not specifically skew deviation.

    Observation:

    • A case study details a patient presenting with alternating skew deviation.
    • The patient's symptoms were directly correlated with the ingestion of Mandrax.

    Findings:

    • Mandrax (methaqualone and diphenhydramine) ingestion can induce alternating skew deviation.
    • This suggests a potential neurotoxic effect of Mandrax on the pretectum and mesodiencephalon.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering drug toxicity in cases of unexplained ocular motility disorders.
