Papilledema following therapeutic dosages of lithium carbonate

A Lobo et al. J Nerv Ment Dis. 1978 Jul.

Abstract

A patient with diagnosis of manic-depressive illness, circular type, and receiving therapeutic dosages of lithium carbonate, developed papilledema that seemed to be directly related to the drug. Although this is an extremely rare complication, the authors suggest that fundal exams may be considered in patients treated with lithium.
