A 53-year-old man was attended to the Clinic Ophthalmic Center, Mansoura University, Egypt, with recurrent transient monocular visual loss after receiving sildenafil citrate (Viagra) for erectile dysfunction. Examination for possible risk factors revealed mild hypercholesterolemia. Family history showed that his father had suffered from bilateral nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Physicians might look for arteriosclerotic risk factors and family history of NAION among predisposing risk factors before prescribing sildenafil erectile dysfunction drugs.
一名53岁男性因勃起功能障碍服用枸橼酸西地那非(万艾可)后反复出现短暂性单眼视力丧失,前往埃及曼苏拉大学眼科中心就诊。对可能的危险因素进行检查发现有轻度高胆固醇血症。家族史显示他的父亲曾患有双侧非动脉炎性前部缺血性视神经病变(NAION)。医生在开具西地那非勃起功能障碍药物之前,可能会在易感危险因素中寻找动脉粥样硬化危险因素和NAION家族史。
