Transdermal and Powdered Scopolamine-Induced Anisocoria: A Report of Two Cases

This report presents 1 case of systemic scopolamine toxicity, alongside unilateral mydriasis, adding confusion to the case given the expected bilateral mydriasis in systemic toxicity, and another case of pharmacological anisocoria secondary to exposure to scopolamine with an atypical reaction to pilocarpine. These cases highlight the importance of thorough history taking and the need to consider pharmacological causes in the differential diagnosis of acute anisocoria.

Abstract

This report presents 1 case of systemic scopolamine toxicity, alongside unilateral mydriasis, adding confusion to the case given the expected bilateral mydriasis in systemic toxicity, and another case of pharmacological anisocoria secondary to exposure to scopolamine with an atypical reaction to pilocarpine. These cases highlight the importance of thorough history taking and the need to consider pharmacological causes in the differential diagnosis of acute anisocoria.
