The use of thermogenic dietary supplements has led to growing concerns about potential adverse health effects. A 19-year-old female patient experienced recurrent blurred vision after consuming thermogenic dietary supplements for 5 weeks and eating only one meal per day. Initial brain imaging showed a lesion at the corpus callosum, which disappeared after a month, and her symptoms resolved within 2 days. The potential risks associated with using thermogenic dietary supplements in combination with intermittent fasting need to be carefully considered.

Many ocular features were found in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA), which include dry eye, blepharospasm, eye movement problems, and blink reflex dysfunction. Some of these symptoms are associated with autonomic dysfunctions seen in MSA. We report a young clinically-probable MSA patient with bilateral ptosis at an early disease stage. Although there is no clear evidence that ptosis, in this case, was caused by abnormalities in the sympathetic cholinergic system, the selective impairment of sudomotor function implied an injured sympathetic cholinergic system secondary to MSA pathology. Ocular manifestations need more attention in clinical examinations of patients with MSA.
