ASENSIO-SANCHEZ, V.M. et al. Visual hallucinations secondary to ciprofloxacin treatment. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.5, pp.299-302. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: We describe a case of a 74-year-old woman who experienced visual hallucinations after ciprofloxacin administration, when she was also taking theophylline, which resolved on cessation of the ciprofloxacin. Discussion: Although uncommon, all ophthalmologists should be aware of this potential problem and be familiar with the adverse visual effects which may occur in patients simultaneously administered quinolones and theophylline.

Palabras clave : Quinolones; ciprofloxacin; theophylline; visual hallucinations; simultaneous treatments.
