Objective: We report a rare case of bilateral maculopathy that developed with the initiation of sertraline.
Methods: We conducted a case report and review of the literature.
Results: A 23-year-old man rapidly developed maculopathy with associated visual blurring after the initiation of sertraline. Treatment was ceased with the patient subsequently reporting mild improvement in visual symptoms.
Conclusions: Maculopathy associated with sertraline use has yet to be established and recognized as an adverse side effect. With only one previous reported case in the literature, this condition requires further awareness.
