Topiramate-induced acute angle-closure glaucoma: A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Drug-induced angle-closure glaucoma is an emergency associated with potentially vision threatening side effects. There are various classes of drugs which induce acute angle-closure glaucoma. Topiramate is an oral sulfa-based drug used for seizure, migraine, and neuropathic pain. There are published case reports of topiramate-induced angle-closure which can mimic acute angle-closure glaucoma. We present a case of a 32-year-old female who developed bilateral angle-closure glaucoma secondary to topiramate.
