AI Article Synopsis
- The study highlights a new retinal side effect associated with topiramate, observed in two patients.
- These patients experienced macular neurosensory retinal detachments soon after starting the medication, which resolved after stopping its use.
- Clinicians should be vigilant about this potential eye-related issue when prescribing topiramate to patients.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To present a previously unreported retinal side-effect from topiramate use in two cases.
Observations: Macular neurosensory retinal detachments were seen in two patients shortly after beginning oral topiramate. The macular detachments resolved shortly after discontinuing this medication.
Conclusions And Importance: As these two cases represent the first reports of topiramate-induced macular neurosensory retinal detachment, clinicians should be aware of this potential ocular side effect when administering this medication.
