Fundus Autofluorescence Imaging, Optical Coherence Tomography, and Multifocal Elecroretinogram Analysis of Congenital Grouped Albinotic Spots

چکیده
A 7-year-old Japanese girl displayed multiple, variably sized, sharply circumscribed, placoid, white lesions in both eyes, with no additional symptoms. The appearance of these lesions was consistent with congenital grouped albinotic spots of the retina. Fundus autofluorescence imaging showed clearly-defined abnormal autofluorescence, corresponding to these albinotic spots. The outer retinal layer and the photoreceptor inner/outer segment junctions were observed to be irregular and discontinued corresponding to some albinotic spots, by optical coherence tomography. Multifocal electroretinograms of both eyes displayed decreased amplitudes. Therefore, we have described a case of congenital grouped albinotic spots in the eyes with functional deterioration.

The authors present enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) characteristics of a patient with bilateral choroidal osteoma and try to make a correlation between two imaging techniques. Two eyes of a patient with choroidal osteoma underwent complete ophthalmic examination. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography revealed a cage-l...
متن کاملImaging Methods in the Diagnosis of Optic Disc Drusen
Optic disc drusen (ODD) are benign congenital anomalies of the optic nerve characterized by calcified hyaline bodies. While superficial drusen can be diagnosed easily during fundus examination, detecting buried drusen requires the use of additional imaging methods such as B-scan ultrasonography (USG), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), computed tomography (CT) and fundus autofluorescence (FA...

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...

PURPOSE To evaluate peripapillary acute zonal occult outer retinopathy in a 67-year-old man. METHODS Images were obtained using fundus photography, fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Visual field testing and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) were also performed to evaluate ret...
