Oral isotretinoin is an effective treatment for severe acne. However, psychiatric side effects are noted, including a few cases of psychosis and mania triggered by isotretinoin. In this report, we present a case of visual hallucinations due to isotretinoin. In our case, with the discontinuation of isotretinoin, the hallucinations regressed and no other cause was found.
