Optical coherence tomographic findings of combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium in 11 patients.

چکیده
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 due to AMD.

Optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence findings in presumed congenital simple retinal pigment epithelium hamartoma
Aim: Presumed congenital simple retinal pigment epithelium hamartoma is a rare benign lesion of the macula that mimics congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and combined hamartoma of the retina and the RPE; newer imaging modalities can help in diagnosis. We report three patients with presumed congenital simple RPE hamartoma, and describe the enhanced-depth imaging optic...
متن کاملMultimodal 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...
متن کاملCombined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium.
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...

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)...
متن کاملCongenital Simple Hamartoma of Retinal Pigment Epithelium: Clinical and Imaging Findings
Congenital simple hamartoma of retinal pigment epithelium (CSHRPE) is a rare, asymptomatic, and incidentally detected benign lesion. However, it is very important to do the differential diagnosis from other pigmented retinal lesions. Its clinical presentation and imaging findings are very helpful in doing this differentiation. This paper presents clinical and imaging findings of a 56-year-old w...
