  • Title: [Uveal effusion induced by escitalopram].
    Author: Arias Palomero A, Infantes Molina EJ, López Arroquia E, Riveira Villalobos L, López Mondéjar E, González del Valle F.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2015 Jul; 90(7):327-30. PubMed ID: 25817959.
    Abstract:
    CASE REPORT: A 73 year-old woman with depression treated with escitalopram developed acute secondary angle closure glaucoma related to uveal effusion after duplicating the drug dose 3 days before. She evolved favorably once the antidepressant treatment was suspended and a new treatment with topical hypotensive therapy and oral prednisone was used. DISCUSSION: The uveal effusion syndrome associated to medicines is rare; it may be associated with acute myopic shift and acute angle closure glaucoma. The correct diagnosis and discontinuation of the drug lead to the resolution of this nosology.
