An 18-year-old white female from Australasia had persistently dilated pupils in both eyes, causing discomfort and burning in sunlight, though her pupillary light reflex remained normal. She used psychedelic substances including LSD, NBOMe, psilocybin, and DMT. Extensive medical, neurological, and radiological exams—including EEG and MRI of the head and neck—found no physical or anatomical cause. She had chronic endogenous depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, treated with citalopram and Ritalin. No family history of similar conditions existed.
