Abstract
A patient undergoing hemodialysis was treated intravenously with desferrioxamine (3 g) for an aluminum encephalopathy. He presented a sudden xanthopsia with visual loss. Fundus examination showed diffuse macular irregular pigmentary disturbances. We discuss current knowledge and possible pathogenesis of these observations published since 1983. Awareness of the side effects of desferrioxamine implies an ophthalmologic follow up similar as chloroquine.
