Is Loss Of Peripheral Vision Caused Due To Azathioprine?
Had excruciating headaches with sensitivity to light and chills with no slurred speech or weakness or drooping of face. mri confirmed an ischemic stroke in vision center of the brain. Lost left peripheral vision in both eyes. Could this have been caused by azathioprine?
