Abstract

A case of quinine poisoning is described. Stellate ganglion block was performed immediately on the basis of the clinical history of visual disturbance without waiting for physical signs to develop. There was no residual field defect despite the presence of toxic levels of the drug. It is suggested that stellate ganglion block may prevent development of visual field defects.
