Amantadine-Induced Corneal Edema in a Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Patient: A Case Report.

Maria Beran1, Britta Okyere2, Joshua Vova3.   

Abstract

Amantadine is commonly prescribed as a neurostimulant in patients with brain injuries. This is a case of a 14-year-old male with a history of brain tumor that developed corneal edema after initiation of amantadine, a rare but documented side effect of this medication. After discontinuation of amantadine, the corneal edema resolved within two months, but endothelial cells density remained low. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V.
