Transient blindness following transurethral resection of the prostate in an achondroplastic dwarf.

R Kaiser, M G Adragna, F R Weis, D Williams.   

Abstract

Neurological complications associated with transurethral resection of the prostate have been reported in the past. We report on an achondroplastic dwarf who suffered transient blindness following transurethral resection of the prostate. The blindness correlated with a markedly elevated serum glycine level of 13,734 mumol. per l. We discuss the possibility of glycine being responsible for this complication.
