Abstract EN
A 53-year-old man was attended to the Clinic Ophthalmic Center, Mansoura University, Egypt, with recurrent transient monocular visual loss after receiving sildenafil citrate (Viagra) for erectile dysfunction.
Examination for possible risk factors revealed mild hypercholesterolemia.
Family history showed that his father had suffered from bilateral nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
Physicians might look for arteriosclerotic risk factors and family history of NAION among predisposing risk factors before prescribing sildenafil erectile dysfunction drugs.
