Repeated delirium from homatropine eye-drops. A case report
Clin Neurol Neurosurg.
1987.
Abstract
The administration of homatropine eye-drops precipitated several episodes of delirium in a 69-year-old woman. The unusual susceptibility of this patient to the central anticholinergic effect of homatropine is perhaps related to a preexisting mild cognitive defect possibly related to a cholinergic neurotransmitter deficit.
