Retinal and Choroidal

26

Manifestations of Systemic

Medications

Stephen G. Schwartz and William F. Mieler

Abstract

Retinal and choroidal manifestations/toxicity may be seen in patients exposed to a variety of systemic medications. Toxicity may manifest itself via a variety of means, including disruption of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium, vascular damage, cystoid macular edema, retinal folds, crystalline retinopathy, uveitis, and subjective visual changes (without objective findings). Examples of all of these forms of toxicity will be presented. With a high index of suspicion, the correct diagnosis can almost always be established.

medications. Retinal and choroidal toxicity may be associated with permanent visual loss or may represent potentially severe systemic complications. Timely diagnosis, and discontinuation of the inciting agent, may restore vision and in some cases improve overall health.

In this chapter, retinal and choroidal toxicities are divided primarily into one of the following categories: diffuse retinal changes, crystalline deposits, subjective visual changes without objective findings, primarily vascular changes, primarily macular changes, and particular syndromes including induced retinal folds.
