Case Report: Presumed Optic Neuropathy after Amiodarone and then Dronedarone for Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
View through CrossRef
SIGNIFICANCE
Amiodarone and dronedarone have recognized ophthalmological adverse effects including optic neuropathy. The recognition of optic neuropathy as a complication of amiodarone and dronedarone treatment may enable withdrawing the drug and accordingly preventing permanent vision loss.
PURPOSE
This study aimed to describe a case of optic neuropathy after substitution of amiodarone with dronedarone for treatment of atrial fibrillation.
CASE REPORT
An 81-year-old man treated with dronedarone for atrial fibrillation after amiodarone had caused tremor developed sequential permanent vision loss in both eyes.
CONCLUSIONS
The importance of timely recognition of optic neuropathy as a complication of amiodarone and dronedarone treatment may enable discontinuing the drug, thus preventing permanent vision loss.
