Case report: the role of OCT in examination of a patient with topiramate-induced acute angle closure, acute myopia and macular striae

摘要

This work reports on a clinical case of a female who presented with headache, bilateral eye pain and vision loss. Intraocular pressures were 40 mm Hg in the right eye and 45 mm Hg in the left eye. Optical Coherence Tomography examination shows the iridocorneal angle was collapsed and macular striae were also observed. The patient had been on topiramate due to migraines 7 days before presentation. Diagnosis for topiramate-induced acute angle closure was made in both eyes. The patient showed improvement in symptoms a few days after treatment initiation and images confirmed that the iridocorneal angle had been enlarged and macular striae had disappeared.
