چکیده

CASE REPORT We report the case of a 10-year-old boy with a progressive bilateral vitelliform macular dystrophy, and his father with terminal stage disease in both eyes; we studied the development and progression of this condition with optical coherence tomography. DISCUSSION Optical coherence tomography is a useful noninvasive tool that complements other diagnostic modalities and improves the follow up assessment. It provides additional information on the morphology of the lesion as well as identifying secondary changes in the adjacent retina. It also demonstrates the location of any yellowish material under the sensory retina.

A novel mutation of the VMD2 gene in a Chinese family with best vitelliform macular dystrophy.

INTRODUCTION In this paper, we report a novel VMD2 gene mutation in a Chinese family with Best vitelliform macular dystrophy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ophthalmologic examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed in 2 members of this family. Mutational screening was performed by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and direct sequencing of PCR-amplified DNA fragments...

Focal Choroidal Excavation in Best Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy: Case Report.

Focal choroidal excavation (FCE) was first reported as a choroidal posteriorly excavated zone without any scleral change. Choroidal excavation also divided into conforming and nonconforming type. Numerous reports demonstrated association between FCE and other disease such as choroidal neovascularization and central serous choroidoretinopathy. Here, we report a rare case of FCE in a patient with...

Morphological and functional analyses of adult onset vitelliform macular dystrophy.

AIM To evaluate the morphology and visual function of the macula in eyes with adult onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (AVMD). METHODS 12 eyes of six patients with AVMD were examined by ophthalmoscopy, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and multifocal electroretinography (mfERGs). The macular lesions were bilateral in all patients and varied from the typ...
