- Abstract:
- We describe a case of severe anticholinergic intoxication following the topical instillation of tropicamide-containing eyedrops. Tropicamide is a short-acting atropine-like derivative and has been regarded as an effective and safe mydriatic. Half an hour after routine fundoscopy, a 62-year-old man experienced two generalized seizures with respiratory arrest and required intubation and mechanical ventilation. The patient was treated with physostigmine and made a full recovery.
