Central Serous Chorioretinopathy Following Use of Desmopressin Nasal Spray: A Case Report
Journal Title: Trends in Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
In the present report, we describe a middle- aged man who experienced decreased visual acuity and metamorphopsia several times following the administration of desmopressin nasal spray. Ophthalmologic examination revealed visual acuity of OD: 4/10 and OS: 9/10 with correction. pigmentary change and retinal elevation was present in fundus examination. Finding was documented with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Fluorescein angiography (FA). The patient was diagnosed with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) due to consumption of desmopressin nasal spray. We conclude that desmopressin might lead to CSCR but more study is recommended to confirm this hypothesis.
