Abstract:
A 32-year-old male patient received moxifloxacin hydrochloride 400 mg orally once daily for lung infection. Four days after medication, the patient developed dizziness, blurred vision, diplopia, etc. Head CT showed no abnormalities. These symptoms were considered to be related to moxifloxacin hydrochloride and the drug was discontinued. Three days later, his symptoms were not improved. Eye examination showed his pupils are equal, round, and sensitive to light; his left eyeball had abduction disorder and right eyeball had normal movement function. The patient had no facial paralysis or muscle abnormalities. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging and other auxiliary examinations showed no obvious abnormalities. Neurotrophic drugs such as mecobalamin, mouse nerve growth factor, and fursultiamine were given, and the patient′s symptoms were gradually improved. After 25 days of drug withdrawal, the patient′s symptoms completely disappeared.
