title: Amantadine induced reversible corneal edema.
abstract: Amantadine is becoming more commonly used for Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly for its efficacy in treating the drug-induced dyskinesias. Corneal edema is a known but unusual side effect of amantadine therapy, rarely reported in the neurological literature. We report amantadine-induced reversible corneal edema in a patient with advanced PD.
