Chloroquine retinopathy and secondary trauma.
This report describes a patient who initially presented with established chloroquine retinopathy resulting in reduced distance visual acuity, color vision anomalies and maculopathy in each eye. Subsequent trauma to the left side of the head produced a further decline in vision, accompanied by iritis and macula edema. A differential diagnosis, classification and treatment plan for patients with chloroquine retinopathy is presented.
