N2  - The authors report on a 17-year-old female patient who suffered an acute psychotic attack after local application of cyclopentolate 1.0% in both eyes. The literature is reviewed with regard to systemic side effects of local application of cyclopentolate. Toxicity of cyclopentolate may be found in every age group even if tolerated without side effects before and it has no specificity for patients with certain (especially brain) diseases. The rapid short-term cycloplegic effect and the rare cases of systemic toxicity support the authors opinion that cyclopentolate is a very useful and well-tolerated diagnostic substance.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>
