摘要：

Desferrioxamine is used for the treatment of chronic iron overload, acute iron poisoning, and certain anaemias. Ocular toxicity secondary to prolonged treatment with desferrioxamine may result in night blindness, visual field constriction, cataract, pigmentary retinopathy and optic neuropathy. To avoid such complications an ophthalmic screening has been suggested for patients taking desferrioxamine. We report an 81-year-old patient who developed irreversible ocular toxicity despite undergoing ophthalmic screening. (C) 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
