To the Editor: A 28-year-old male-to-female transsexual patient presented with severe headache and visual disturbances; clinical examination showed visual impairment, with bitemporal inferior visual-field defects, papilledema of the left eye, and optic atrophy of the right eye. The patient was euphoric and confused. Personality changes noted during the previous 4 months had been attributed by family members to the new gender identity of the patient.

Reason why doctors need to watch over HRT.
