To report a case of retinopathy associated with chronic occupational exposure to ethyl-m-aminobenzoic acid methanesulfonate (MS-222), a retinotoxic fish anesthetic.
Case report with electroretinograms to document changes in visual electrophysiology.
An ichthyologist with a long history of skin exposure to MS-222 was initially examined for decreased vision, photophobia, and photopsia. His electroretinogram abnormalities were similar to those seen in animal models of acute MS-222 toxicity. After terminating MS-222 contact for 7 months, his vision returned to normal, and his electroretinogram improved.
Individuals with occupational exposure to MS-222 should exercise caution to avoid systemic absorption of this retinotoxic compound.
报告一例与长期职业性接触甲磺酸乙氧苯酰胺(MS - 222,一种具有视网膜毒性的鱼类麻醉剂)相关的视网膜病变病例。
通过病例报告及视网膜电图记录视觉电生理变化。
一名有长期皮肤接触MS - 222病史的鱼类学家最初因视力下降、畏光和闪光幻觉接受检查。其视网膜电图异常与急性MS - 222毒性动物模型中所见相似。在停止接触MS - 222 7个月后,他的视力恢复正常,视网膜电图也有所改善。
职业性接触MS - 222的个体应谨慎行事,避免这种具有视网膜毒性的化合物发生全身吸收。
