Retinal tear and posterior vitreous detachment following repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for major depression: a case report

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a well-established treatment for medically refractory major depressive disorder (MDD), using powerful, focused magnetic pulses (1.0-2.5 Tesla) delivered through an electromagnetic coil to stimulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) [1]. rTMS is a safe procedure, with side-effects usually limited to scalp pain during stimulation, transient and mild headache and fatigue after stimulation, and rare seizures (
