Contraceptive-Induced Unilateral Retinopathy

Contraceptive-Induced Unilateral Retinopathy A case of pigmentary retinopathy attributed to an oral contraceptive is described. After suspension of the drug the ocular symptoms regressed, whereas the ophthalmoscopic and fluorescein angiographic picture did not reflect this regression. Fluorescein angiography, used in this condition for the first time, showed that the amount of pigment was much greater than that observed ophthalmo-scopically. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Ophthalmologica Karger

Abstract

A case of pigmentary retinopathy attributed to an oral contraceptive is described. After suspension of the drug the ocular symptoms regressed, whereas the ophthalmoscopic and fluorescein angiographic picture did not reflect this regression. Fluorescein angiography, used in this condition for the first time, showed that the amount of pigment was much greater than that observed ophthalmo-scopically.
