Zusammenfassung
ase report A 60-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis of 20 years onset, on treatment with monthly intramuscular gold salts (GS) for the last 7 years. She complained of suffering from halo vision, and the examination showed a visual acuity of 0.6 in both eyes (BE). The slit lamp showed some deposits in the stroma with scattered golden granulated, without any further inflammatory reaction. Discussion GS deposits are dose-dependent and reversible, although very slowly. In this article, we introduce, for the first time, evidence of deposits of GS in all layers of the cornea, predominantly in the corneal stroma and in the endothelium.
