A UNIQUE PRESENTATION OF CHLOROQUINE RETINOPATHY

A 46-year-old white female presented with bilateral cystic foveal thic kening several years after taking 250 mg of chloroquine per day as tre atment for rheumatoid arthritis. fluorescein angiography demonstrated no leakage of dye from the cystic foveal lesions and also confirmed th e presence of a bull's-eye maculopathy. Bilateral cystic foveal thicke ning may represent a late manifestation of chloroquine-induced retinal toxicity and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of no nstaining cystic foveal lesions.
