Macular toxicity and blind spot enlargement during a treatment by voriconazole: A case report:

2018 
Purpose:To report a case of macular toxicity and blind spot enlargement during voriconazole treatment.Methods:This is a case report.Results:We describe a 77-year-old man treated by voriconazole for pulmonary aspergillosis, who complained of visual disorders such as dyschromatopsia and visual hallucinations 3 days after voriconazole initiation. Initial ophthalmological examination found no loss of visual acuity. The anterior and posterior segments presented no anomalies. The chromatic vision evaluated with the Lanthony 15-Hue Desaturated Test demonstrated dyschromatopsia in the left eye along the tritan axis, and the Goldmann visual field examination found a blind spot enlargement in both eyes. The multifocal electroretinogram found a global decrease in the foveal peak in both eyes. Visual evoked potential showed asymmetric data and lower amplitudes of the P(100) wave on the left eye. No anomalies were observed on spectral domain macular optical coherence tomography. As a first step, based on presumed dose...
