combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium in a patient with fundus flavimaculatus
نویسندگان
چکیده
aim: to report a patient with fundus flavimaculatus or macular dystrophy with flecks, who came to medical attention due to deteriorated vision in one eye and combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium. case presentation: a 26 year old lady was referred with history of progressive decreased vision in both eyes since childhood with recently deteriorated vision in her right eye. in the last examination, visual acuity with correction was 20/400 in the right and 20/200 in the left eye. on biomicroscopic funduscopy, there was a mass-like lesion extending all over the macula in the right eye with distortion of the fundus and retinal vasculature. a thick epiretinal fibrous membrane covered the lesion. left eye examination revealed lack of foveal reflex with an atrophic retina, retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris accompanied by pigmentary changes. diffuse flecks extended from the macula to the mid periphery. elecroretinogram and electrooculogram confimed a diagnosis of advanced fundus flavimaculatus. fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green imaging did not show any evidence of choroidal neovascularization. conclusion: there has been no report of concurrent macular dystrophy with flecks and combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium in the literature. it is not clear whether this is an accidental association or there may be genetic footprints.

CLINICAL CASE This report is based on the case of a 35-year-old woman who developed a combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium in her right eye. The diagnosis was determined based on the fundus examination: hyperplasia of the retinal pigment epithelium cells, tortuosity of the vessels and epiretinal membrane. DISCUSSION Optical coherence tomography and retinal angiograp...

Multimodal imaging of combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium associated with an acquired vitelliform lesion
BACKGROUND We present a case of a combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium associated with a subfoveal acquired vitelliform lesion induced by vitreomacular traction. The purpose of this report is to present a unifying hypothesis of these concurrent findings, as aided by multimodal imaging. CASE PRESENTATION A 25-year-old white man presented with a 6-month history of a v...

further investigation, but this report provides evidence that iron overload can occur in AMD not only in the RPE and Bruch’s membrane but also in the neurosensory retina. Because iron can cause oxidative stress, it may be toxic to both the RPE and photoreceptors, cells in which cell death leads to blindness in AMD. Iron chelation therapy may one day prove useful in the prevention of vision loss...

A 5-year-old girl was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF-2) due to multiple neurofibromas, cafe-au-lait spots, and schwannomas of the brain. During ophthalmologic evaluation, a posterior subcapsular cataract and a gray-green colored subretinal lesion were found in right eye. Fluorescein angiography (FA) revealed a combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (CHRRPE)...
