Multimodal imaging of indapamide-induced bilateral choroidal effusion: a case report

Abstract Background Indapamide, a sulfonamide diuretic used to treat hypertension, has been reported to have ocular side effects of acute angle-closure glaucoma, transient myopia and choroidal effusion whose immediate etiology is uncertain. This report aims to clarify the nature of indapamide-induce...

Case presentation A 60-year-old woman who was following a long-term carbohydrate-restricted diet and receiving oral treatment for hypertension was referred to our department for eye pain. Indapamide (1 mg daily) was prescribed for uncontrolled hypertension 5 days before her visit; she took the medication for only 3 days and then stopped due to dry eye. However, she began to feel eye pain the day after her last dose, and the pain gradually intensified. She experienced no decrease in visual acuity at the initial visit; however, an extremely shallow anterior chamber was observed in both eyes, along with a slight increase in intraocular pressure. For differential diagnosis, ocular manifestations were evaluated with wide-field fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT) of both anterior and posterior segments, fluorescein / indocyanine green angiography, ultrasound biomicroscopy and head magnetic resonance, showing edema of the entire eyeball.
