Abstract
Oxaliplatin, a third-generation platinum-based agent, is a constitutive part of systemic treatment for colorectal cancer in adjuvant and metastatic settings. Ocular toxicity is an extremely rare adverse effect of Oxaliplatin. Ocular toxicities have been documented in the form of (a) common (≥1/100, <1/10) which include the conjunctivitis, unexpected lacrimation, blurry vision, blepharoptosis, and (b) uncommon (≥1/10,000, <1/1,000) which compromise the tunnel vision, idiosyncratic color perception, transient bilateral visual loss, and rarest phenomenon of Amaurosis fugax. Amaurosis fugax implies to any cause of transient, painless, unilateral visual loss; with the possible underlying mechanism of thrombo-embolic carotid plaque, hypoperfusion, or vasospasm of retinal vessels, due to hyperviscosity, and atherosclerotic vascular disease. To date, only a few case reports of Oxaliplatin-induced Amaurosis fugax have been published. We here-in report 3 cases who experienced Amaurosis fugax while receiving Oxaliplatin in our one of health board-based four hospitals.
