Clinical and genetic features in Italian Bietti crystalline dystrophy patients
AIM The aim of the study was to describe the clinical and genetic features of 15 Italian patients with Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD). METHODS All study participants underwent a complete ophthalmological examination, including standard electroretinogram (ERG), optical coherence tomography, microperimetry, autofluorescence and multifocal electroretinogram. The 11 exons of the CYP4V2 gene w...
متن کاملAcetazolamide for Cystoid Macular Oedema in Bietti Crystalline Retinal Dystrophy
Bietti crystalline retinal dystrophy is a rare, inherited disorder whose hallmark is the presence of retinal crystal deposits associated with later chorioretinal degeneration. This condition may rarely be complicated by the development of cystoid macular oedema leading to rapid visual decline. Currently, treatment options for this complication of Bietti dystrophy are limited and the visual prog...
متن کاملThe metabolism of fatty acids in human Bietti crystalline dystrophy.
PURPOSE To investigate the role of abnormal lipid metabolism in Bietti crystalline dystrophy. METHODS Cultured human lymphocytes and fibroblasts from patients with Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD) were incubated in the presence of [(14)C]18:3n-3 or [(14)C]18:2n-6. Incorporation into the cellular lipid pools and further metabolism by desaturation or elongation were monitored by thin-layer ch...
متن کاملOutcome of Macular Hole Surgery in Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy
PURPOSE To describe a 42-year-old man, a known case of Bietti crystalline dystrophy who underwent surgery for unilateral full thickness macular hole. CASE REPORT Clinical features, color fundus photographs, and optical coherence tomography, electroretinography, and electrooculography findings of the patient are reported. His visual acuity improved from counting fingers to 20/50 after pars pla...
متن کاملSpectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomographic Findings of Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy
We analyzed the OCT features of 24 eyes of 12 patients with Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD) with the Heidelberg HRA2-OCT. Seventeen of 24 eyes were in intermediate stage of the disease and seven in advanced stage of the disease at the time of latest OCT examination performed in 2014. Outer retinal tubulations and retinal hyperreflective dots were present in 20 of 24 eyes. The remaining four ...
