Intravenous plus intravitreal erythropoietin for management of methanol toxicity optic neuropathy: A case report and brief review

Methanol can inhibit cellular aerobic respiration pathway and causes cell hypoxia specially in optic neurons. Despite using many drugs, methanol‐induced optic neuropathy (MION) still has a poor prognosis. Here we present a case of MION which is managed by a combination of intravenous and intravitrea...

Description
Summary:Methanol can inhibit cellular aerobic respiration pathway and causes cell hypoxia specially in optic neurons. Despite using many drugs, methanol‐induced optic neuropathy (MION) still has a poor prognosis. Here we present a case of MION which is managed by a combination of intravenous and intravitreal erythropoietin in addition to corticosteroids. Despite usage of many drugs, methanol induced optic neuropathy (MION) is still poor prognosis. Combination of intravenous and intravitreal erythropoietin in addition to corticosteroid can be an opportunity to treat MION.
