British Medical Journal (Clinical Research Edition) Case Reports 2012; 2012:


Topiramate, a sulpha-based medication used in the treatment of migraine, has been documented as causing choroidal effusions, transient myopia and acute secondary angle closure glaucoma. We would like to report a case demonstrating these adverse effects and underscore the utility of ultrasound biomicroscopy in diagnosis and management.
