Abstract EN
We report the case of a 25-year-old women suffering from major depression who was treated with citalopram for several weeks with doses between 20 mg and 60 mg.
She gradually developed marked mydriasis within 2 months after treatment and subsequently neuritis nervi optici.
Moreover, abrupt galactorrhea occurred after 2 months of treatment.
All neuro-ophthalmological, neurophysiological, clinical laboratory, and neuroradiological diagnostic efforts did not reveal an underlying organic pathophysiology.
The ocular symptoms disappeared rapidly after the discontinuation of citalopram and pulse therapy with methyl-prednisolone.
However, galactorrhea persisted for a few weeks necessitating treatment with bromocriptine.
