  • Title: [Crystalline retinopathy].
    Author: Rasquin F.
    Journal: Bull Soc Belge Ophtalmol; 2007; (304):77-82. PubMed ID: 17718231.
    Abstract:
    Crystalline retinopathy is characterized by intraretinal crystalline deposits that, according to their etiology, can be localized in the macular area or, indeed, be found in the entire retina. These deposits can be associated or not to visual loss and electrophysiological perturbations. Among the toxic drugs leading to this retinopathy are tamoxifen, canthaxanthine, methoxyflurane, talc and nitrofurantoin. A detailed description of tamoxifen and canthaxanthine toxicity is reported in this chapter.
