Popis: Key Clinical Message Aluminum phosphide poisoning may cause rare visual impairment. In a case, a 31‐year‐old female, visual loss was linked to shock‐induced hypoperfusion, causing oxygen lack and cerebral atrophy, emphasizing the need for identifying atypical symptoms. Abstract This case report describes the multidisciplinary evaluation of a 31‐year‐old female patient who suffered from visual impairment as a result of aluminum phosphide (AlP) poisoning. Phosphine, which is formed in the body when AlP reacts with water, cannot cross the blood–brain barrier; therefore, visual impairment seems unlikely to be the direct result of phosphine. To our knowledge, it is the first documented report of such impairment due to AlP.
