Abstract
To report the abnormal multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) findings in two cases of presumed ethambutol toxicity. Retrospective observational case series. Two patients with ethambutol toxicity and visual loss. Multifocal electroretinography. Waveform measurements on multifocal electroretinography. Two patients with bilateral visual loss due to ethambutol toxicity underwent mfERG testing that disclosed both diffuse and central field loss compatible with retinal dysfunction as a contributing mechanism to the visual field loss. Ethambutol toxicity affects not only the optic nerve but probably other retinal elements based upon abnormal mfERG findings.
