butterfly-shaped macular dystrophy

چکیده
purpose: to report a case of butterfly-shaped macular dystrophy. patient and findings: a 34-year-old woman presented with metamorphopsia in both eyes from 2 years ago. visual acuity was 9/10 in right eye and 10/10 in left eye. there was no pathologic finding on slit lamp biomicroscopy and funduscopy other than mild macular retinal pigment epithelium mottling. visual fields and electroretinogram were normal but electrooculogram showed sub-normal results. fluorescein angiography showed black, non-fluorescent butterfly-shaped macular structures. conclusion: butterfly-shaped macular dystrophy occurs in middle aged subjects and presents with mild visual loss and metamorphopsia. it is slowly progressive and leads to marked visual acuity reduction in older ages. considering the paucity of clinical findings, fluorescein angiography and/ or electrophysiological tests are recommended for making a correct diagnosis.

Vitelliform macular dystrophy and butterfly-shaped epithelial dystrophy: a continuum?
We report the case of 22-year-old white female who presented for a routine ocular examination and displayed Best's disease in her right eye and butterfly-shaped macular dystrophy in her left eye. These diagnoses were confirmed by fluorescein angiography, EOG, and ERG. The fact that these 2 disorders are present in one person suggests that they are only different manifestations of the same under...
متن کاملButterfly-shaped pattern dystrophy in myotonic dystrophy.
A 50-year-old woman with myotonic dystrophy (MD) presented with bilateral blurred vision. Visual acuity was 16/ 20 in both eyes. Slit lamp examination showed cortical and posterior subcapsular opacities in both lenses. Funduscopy showed depigmented changes at the macula, however, details were unclear due to the presence of cataract (Picture 1). Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging clearly defi...
متن کامل[Butterfly-shaped pattern dystrophy: case report].
The authors present a case of butterfly-shaped pattern dystrophy diagnosed in a male patient, with retinal pigmented epithelium atrophy and central visual acuity decrease in one of the eyes. The evolution of this case was not benign as described in previous reports. A well-defined lesion located in the posterior pole of both eyes associated with fluorescein angiography allowed the diagnosis of ...
متن کاملIdentification of novel locus for autosomal dominant butterfly shaped macular dystrophy on 5q21.2-q33.2.
B utterfly shaped macular dystrophy was first described by Deutman et al. in 1970. It is characterised by bilateral accumulation of pigmented or yellowish material at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. Lesions consist of 3–5 ‘‘wings,’’ which resemble the wings of a butterfly. Affected patients present with a subnormal electrooculogram and normal or slightly diminished visual acuity. T...

PURPOSE Butterfly-shaped macular dystrophy (BSMD) has so far only been associated with mutations in the peripherin/RDS gene. The initial aim of our study was to investigate the peripherin/RDS gene as the causative gene in a family with BSMD. Subsequently the putative involvement of the ROM-1 gene, 4 genes expressed in cone photoreceptors, all known non-syndromic macular, retinal pigment epithel...
متن کاملSorsby's pseudoinflammatory macular dystrophy.
Forty-three additional members of a family described originally by Sorsby and Mason have been examined in order to typify pseudoinflammatory macular dystrophy more accurately. Six new affected members were identified by history alone and a further 7 were examined. Vision is lost from disciform macular degeneration generally during the 5th decade of life. Thereafter peripheral degeneration occur...
