Abstract
We report a case of pigment epitheliopathy with serious detachment of the retina in a 23-year-old man following a total dose infusion of iron dextran. Initial impairment of visual acuity resolved spontaneously, along with changes in the elctro-oculogram and fundus fluorescein angio-gram. Ocular features of systemic iron toxicity are reviewed and the pathophysiology discussed. Practitioners using total dose iron infusion should be aware of the possible ocular complications.
