title: «Poppers maculopathy?» in Spain. A new ophthalmological disease.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The term «poppers» refers to products made of volatile alkyl nitrites used for recreational practices.
  
  
  METHODS
  40 year old man reported blurred vision in both eyes and photophobia, and admitted regular use of «poppers». Best corrected visual acuity was 0.63/1 in both eyes. Bilateral yellowish vitelliform macular lesions were present in both eyes in the funduscopy, as well as a disruption of the IS/OS line in the optical coherence tomography.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is the first case of «poppers maculopathy» registered in Spain. Clinical findings and symptoms are similar to previous reported cases.
