| Description |
Ethambutol and less commonly, Isoniazid are well documented causes of toxic optic neuropathy. This manifests as reduced visual acuity, colour vision deficits and visual field defects. We present an interesting case where the neuropathy progressed at least 12 months after drug cessation, with atypical electrophysiology findings. |
