Persistent Palinopsia Following Ingestion of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD)
Archives of Ophthalmology 1996 Aki Kawasaki 64 citations
We have described three patients in whom persistent palinopsia developed following ingestion of LSD. Clinicians should inquire about past LSD use in all patients who initially have seemingly spontaneous, isolated palinopsia. Recognition of this distinctive clinical syndrome associated with LSD use might avoid unnecessary anxiety and excessive diagnostic tests for patients with this disorder.
