A 45 year-old man with bilateral acute angle-closure and myopia after starting treatment with topiramate, secondary to alcohol and heroin dependence. Using Visante® OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and B-scan Ultrasound he was diagnosed with bilateral ciliochoroidal effusion as the pathophysiological mechanism. Topiramate was stopped and ocular hypotensive therapy with a topical cycloplegic and corticosteroids were started, resolving ciliochoroidal effusion syndrome. Visante® OCT and B-scan Ultrasound are useful tools for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with acute angle-closure and myopia due to topiramate. As a result of broad spectrum of indications for topiramate, physicians and ophthalmologists should be aware of the possible ophthalmological manifestations attributable to this drug.
