The results indicate that the initial loss of function due to exposure to aminoglycoside antibiotics is independent of the vascular supply. Elimination of the b-wave was dose dependent and reversible, indicating that a component of gentamicin toxicity is mediated through pathways other than vascular supply. Short-term effects are reversible, suggesting a receptor-mediated process.

The results indicate that renewed attention to cortical cleanup in cataract surgery is warranted for significant reduction in incidence or the elimination of PCO. More attention to the hydrodissection (cortical cleaving hydrodissection) step of the procedure is likely a practical, immediately implementable, and inexpensive remedy.

Although the association of APMPPE and cerebral vasculitis has been described, this patient is unique due to the subtle clinical presentation and anatomic location. This case emphasizes the importance of appropriate counseling of patients with APMPPE, as well as prompt recognition of clinical symptoms to enable timely intervention and treatment.
