Saturday night choroido-retinopathy: a rising clinical entity

Abstract

proptosis, ocular pain, diffuse retinal edema and ophthalmoplegia following the opioid or heavy alcohol-induced prone position.1-4 It has been firstly described by Jayam et al in 1974 as the unilateral visual loss due to prolonged pressure on the orbit at stupor and asleep in face-down position.1 It has been called with this name because this clinical pathology occurs following heavy alcohol and abuse of methadone at a Saturday night party.1
