[Retinopathy secondary to treatment with Interferon beta-1a in a patient with multiple sclerosis].

Introduction: Although visual symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) are very frequent, they are rarely related with treatment with interferon. This is the first case reported in the literature of retinopathy associated with subcutaneous interferon beta-1a, and the second related to interferons in MS.

Case Report: A 30-year-old female diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS who, at 3 months after starting treatment with subcutaneous interferon beta-1a (44 microg/3 times a week), displayed visual disorders.
