We present the frst case of ocular futter related with amphetamine intoxication
and discuss the physiopathology of this interesting syndrome and the biochemical
diferences between OF and OC.
A-15-years-old Caucasian male with not previous medical history experienced a rapid
onset of dizziness. On neurological admission the patient was nervous, there were
no cognitive defcit. Clinical eye movements examination revealed frequent horizon-
tal and symmetric involuntary burst of large to-and fro. There was a bilateral pupil
mydriasis but no motor or sensory defcit, no tremor and no limb ataxia and deep
tendon refexes were all presents. Blood pressure was 145/90 mm Hg and pulse 105
beats/min CT performed on admission was normal. CSF contained 0 lymphocytes/

phetamine. All symptoms progressively resolved within 6 hours. An MRI performed
