Ocular Myasthenia Induced by Rivaroxaban in Patient with Deep Vein Thrombosis.
    Annals of vascular surgery, 2018, Volume: 49

    The non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant rivaroxaban is indicated in prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE). A 60-year-old male patient complained of bilateral ptosis after administration of rivaroxaban for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Myasthenia gravis (MG) was confirmed by positive serum antiacetylcholine receptor antibody test. No mediastinal thymoma was found. The ocular myasthenia reversed after discontinuing rivaroxaban treatment. Nevertheless, ptosis recurred and chronic oral pyridostigmine bromide treatment was necessary. The mechanism of MG development by rivaroxaban therapy is not completely understood. The development of rivaroxaban-induced autoimmune disease could be based on cross-reactivity between antibodies against rivaroxaban-derived antigens or by T-cell activation. To our knowledge, this report of ocular myasthenia by rivaroxaban administration is the first in the literature. Despite the benefits of rivaroxaban, it is important to recognize unexpected immune-related adverse events.

[Horner syndrome as a manifestation of carotid artery dissection].
    Archivos de la Sociedad Espanola de Oftalmologia, 2011, Volume: 86, Issue:11

    A 42-year-old man presented with ptosis and miosis in his left eye and a history of headache over the last 20 days. An angioresonance showed dissection of internal carotid artery.. "Painful Horner's Syndrome" is considered to be a medical emergency due possible onset of an internal carotid artery dissection. We consider that awareness of neuro-ophthalmologic emergencies is very important in the clinical praxis of an ophthalmologist. Multidisciplinary treatment and follow-up of these patients is required.
