We report the case of a 32-year-old Italian man admitted to our emergency room for visual disturbances with blurred vision, anisocoria and temporal headache suddenly occurred in absence of other neurological symptoms. A diagnosis of Datura stramonium-induced anticholinergic toxicity was done. With our work, we want to highlight the importance of a meticulous clinical examination, including papillary diameter and reflexes, combined with a detailed history of the patient in the emergency room. Anticholinergic toxicity is a medical emergency. The diagnosis is always clinical, and it can represent a challenge for the emergency clinicians because it can mimic several neurological diseases, including acute stroke and seizures, but early diagnosis is crucial to avoid severe complications and management errors.
