Bilateral methanol-induced optic neuropathy following hand sanitizer ingestion
Purpose
We report a case of a child with bilateral methanol-induced optic neuropathy highlighting the importance of early recognition and possible treatment options.
Observations
An 11-year-old female with history of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and pica presented with a few hours of bilateral “spotty” vision and dizziness. Several hours prior to presentation, the patient ingested an unknown amount of recalled hand sanitizer. The child had normal vision, but dilated exam was notable for mild bilateral optic disc edema. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) showed global thickening in both eyes. Given these findings of end-organ toxicity, the patient was urgently started on hemodialysis.
Conclusions and importance
Pediatric patients with ASD often have co-morbid eating disorders such as pica or avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). This population of patients is especially susceptible to toxic optic neuropathies related to restricted nutritional intake and toxic ingestion. A high clinical suspicion and early recognition is key to prompt treatment and visual recovery.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports is a peer-reviewed, scientific publication that welcomes the submission of original, previously unpublished case report manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists and visual science specialists. The cases shall be challenging and stimulating but shall also be presented in an educational format to engage the readers as if they are working alongside with the caring clinician scientists to manage the patients. Submissions shall be clear, concise, and well-documented reports. Brief reports and case series submissions on specific themes are also very welcome.
