It is well established and documented that fluoroquinolone use is associated with the development of tendinopathy. However, little is known about the possible effects of this class of antibiotics on the orbit. We present a case of lateral canthal tendon rupture that presented with an acute right lower eyelid ectropion in a young, renal compromised patient in the setting of recent fluoroquinolone use for pneumonia. Eye care clinicians need to be aware of the possible effects of fluoroquinolones on the eyelids.
氟喹诺酮类药物的使用与肌腱病的发生有关，这一点已得到充分证实并有文献记载。然而，对于这类抗生素对眼眶可能产生的影响却知之甚少。我们报告一例外侧眦腱断裂病例，该病例为一名年轻的肾功能不全患者，近期因肺炎使用氟喹诺酮类药物后出现急性右下睑外翻。眼科护理临床医生需要意识到氟喹诺酮类药物对眼睑可能产生的影响。
