SUMI FATHIMA SALIM

Abstract


Topiramate is a well prescribed antiepileptic drug which is also widely used in prophylaxis of migraine.We         report a case of bilateral acute onset myopia and acute angle           closure glaucoma in a teenager following topiramate therapy for prophylaxis of migraine.The relevance of timely diagnosis and appropriate management is stressed upon in our case report.The occurrence in a child is a rarity in itself.
