Zusammenfassung

Dieser Bericht stellt einen multimodalen Fall mit Fortschreiten der Makulopathie trotz Abbruch der Chloroquin-Therapie im Langzeitverlauf von 6 Jahren dar. Darüber hinaus werden die aktuellen Nachweisverfahren im Screening zur Früherkennung der Makulopathie und ihre prognostische Bedeutung diskutiert.

Abstract

This case report presents a pictorially well-documented case with multimodal images of a progression of maculopathy despite discontinuation of chloroquine treatment in a long-term follow-up over 6 years. Additionally, the current detection methods in screening for early recognition of maculopathy and their prognostic significance are reviewed.
