Therapeutic Application of Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells in a Patient with Methanol-Induced Blindness.

CONCLUSION: Treatment with retrobulbar and intrathecal autologous bone marrow derived stem cell in an adult male patient with bilateral visual loss due to accidental ingestion of methanol was effective. Larger studies are warranted to explore the real impact of this procedure. PMID: 26665934 [PubMed - in process]
