Abstract:
Cyclopentolate, proparacaine, tropicamide and phenylephrine eye drops are frequently used for
ophthalmological examinations. We report a young child who developed a generalised tonic clonic
seizure on two separate occasions after ocular instillation of these four drugs with the aim of increasing
the awareness of this rare but serious neurotoxic side-effect.
