A 2‐year‐old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica, developed optic atrophy during quinoline treatment (600 mg/day, later gradually increased to 1700 mg/day; a total dose of 280 g was given). The optic atrophy developed rapidly 9 months after the start of the quinoline treatment. The right eye was blinded and developed a convergent strabismus. Eight months after the quinoline had been stopped, the left eye began a slow and partial recovery of vision with an improvement in the appearance of the optic disc.
