Radziwill AJ Vuadens P Borruat FX Bogousslavsky J 1997 A 73-year-old man with a history of a cerebral and a cardiac vascular disease and atrial flutter developed visual disturbances characterized by vision being dark in both eyes and by seeing as through a color photographic negative immediately after an uncomplicated transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for prostatic hyperplasia under spinal anesthesia. There was complete remission of the symptomatology after 2.5 h. A cerebrovascular workup was negative. Considering postoperative hyponatremia and hypoosmality, we discuss the possible role of glycine-induced visual disturbances as described in the TURP reaction syndrome, to our knowledge an entity almost unknown in the neurologic literature. Glycine-induced visual disturbances should therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis of bilateral transient visual loss. https://sonar.ch/global/documents/189410 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1159/000112895 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/9252792 European neurology. - 1997 Aged Glycine Humans Male Prostatectomy Remission, Spontaneous Syndrome Therapeutic Irrigation Vision Disorders Water Intoxication Visual disturbances and transurethral resection of the prostate: the TURP syndrome. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
