dc.description.abstractPurpose: To report a case of visual improvement in methanol poisoning treated with intravenous methylprednisolone. Case summary: A 64-year-old man presented with decreasing vision in both eyes after ingesting a car window cleanser. His initial visual acuity was the ability to count fingers in the right eye and hand motion in the left eye. The patient received intravenous methylprednisolone (1.0 gram), slowly over 1 hour. The same dose of methyl prednisolone was repeated on the second and third day. Then, oral prednisolone was given and tapered over a period of 7 weeks. On the 5th day after treatment, there was an improvement in the visual acuity of the right eye to 0.4 but no improvement of vision was observed in the left eye. On 16th day after treatment, the visual acuity was 0.7 in the right eye and counting fingers in the left eye. At 2 months after ingestion, the visual acuity of the right eye returned to 1.0 with no improvement in the left eye. Optic disc pallor was suspected and P100 delay was observed in the left eye with VEP showing a favorable outcome in the right eye. Conclusions: A visual improvement of 1 eye was observed in methanol poisoning treated with intravenous methylprednisolone.-
dc.description.abstract목적 : 메탄올 음독 후 양안 시력 저하를 보인 환자에서 고용량 스테로이드를 전신적으로 투여하여 단안의 시력 향상을 경험하였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다. 증례요약 : 64세 남자 환자가 메탄올이 든 자동차 유리 세정제를 음독 후 우안 안전수지, 좌안 안전수동의 시력 감소를 주소로 본원에 내원하여 고용량 스테로이드 치료를 시행하였다. 고용량 스테로이드 정맥 주사를 3일간 투여한 후 경구 투약으로 바꾸고 1주일 간격으로 용량을 감량하였다. 치료 5일째 시력은 우안 0.4, 좌안 안전 수동으로 점차 호전 보였으며, 치료 16일째 시력은 우안 0.8, 좌안 안전 수지였다. 치료 2개월째 우안 시력은 1.0, 좌안 시력은 안전 수지였고 우안의 시유발전위검사는 정상 소견이었다. 좌안의 시기능은 호전되지 않았고 시신경 유두의 창백이 보였으며 시유발전위검사에서 P100 잠복기의 연기가 관찰되었다. 결론 : 메탄올에 의한 중독성 약시가 단안에서 호전된 예를 보고하는 바이다.-
