Ocular fundus manifestation of two patients following long-term chloroquine therapy: a case report

Authors: Xiaoyun Ma, Liang Yan, Linping He, Dongyi He, Hao Lu

Published in: Diagnostic Pathology | Issue 1/2010

Abstract

This report describes the typical manifestations of chloroquine retinopathy with some advanced new technology. A series of examinations were performed on the patients, including the fundus fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, GDxVCC Nerve Fiber Analyzer, full-field electroretinography, multifocal electroretinography and visual field examinations, to provide a better understanding of chloroquine retinopathy.
