To report retinal alterations after Isobutyl nitrite (popper) inhalation.
Case Report.
A 30-year-old man presented a sudden visual decrease following the use of Isobutyl nitrite (popper) while he was at a discotheque. His visual acuity (VA) was 20/50 in the right eye (RE) and 20/63 in the left eye (LE). Ophthalmoscopy revealed symmetric alteration of the foveal reflex with a small yellowish-white spot in the foveal area, much more evident in the RE. Fluorescein angiography and OCT were normal. Visual field showed a mild reduction of central differential light sensitivity. A progressive recovery was noted and at one month's follow-up VA was 20/25 in OU with very faint yellowish-white spots.
The inhalation of drugs as "popper" may cause a visual loss by unclear mechanisms.
报告吸入亚硝酸异丁酯(Poppers)后视网膜的改变。
病例报告。
一名30岁男性在迪斯科舞厅使用亚硝酸异丁酯(Poppers)后突然视力下降。右眼视力(VA)为20/50,左眼为20/63。检眼镜检查发现黄斑反射对称改变,黄斑区有一个小的黄白色斑点,右眼更明显。荧光素血管造影和光学相干断层扫描(OCT)均正常。视野检查显示中心差分光敏感度轻度降低。观察到视力逐渐恢复,随访1个月时双眼视力为20/25,黄白色斑点非常淡。
吸入“Poppers”类药物可能通过不明机制导致视力丧失。
