Mydriasis from Datura wrightii.
A 4-year-old girl had painless, uniocular mydriasis after picking flowers. Pharmacologic testing with 1% pilocarpine confirmed the probability that an atropine-like agent had been instilled in the affected eye. The flowers were identified as Datura wrightii and contained scopolamine, hyoscyamine, and atropine on thin-layer chromatography.[1]References
