Objective Determination of Retinal Function in Bietti Crystalline Retinopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 44-year-old female patient without any known systemic or ocular disease presented with progressive visual loss and night vision disturbance. Visual acuity was 0.6 in the right eye and 0.2 in the left eye. Tiny, yellow crystalline deposits were seen on fundus examination. In addition, areas of retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris atrophy were detected. Rod and cone responses were depressed in full-field flash electroretinogram. Multifocal electroretinogram testing showed severe foveal function disturbance with less severe but still depressed responses toward the periphery. Multiple hyperreflective lesions were detected in the retina in optical coherence tomography. We aimed to present the role of ocular electrophysiology by comparing the patient's signs and symptoms with her ocular electrophysiological test results.

Outer retinal circular structures in patients with Bietti crystalline retinopathy.
BACKGROUND Bietti crystalline retinopathy (BCR) is a distinct retinal degenerative disease characterised by retinal degeneration with many yellow-white crystals located mainly at the posterior pole area. Using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), the structural change in retina was investigated. METHODS Patients diagnosed with BCR (n=12), retinitis pigmentosa (RP, n=292) and...
متن کاملBietti's tapetoretinal degeneration with marginal corneal dystrophy crystalline retinopathy.
In 1937 Bietti reported a tapetoretinal degeneration with associated corneal deposits at the limbus. The hallmark of the disease was the crystalline characteristics of the retinal spots as well as those at the corneal limbus. Bagolini and Ioli-Spade in 1968 presented a 30 year follow-up on Bietti's cases and presented six additional cases. The present report delas with this entity in Orientals,...
متن کاملBietti ' s tapetoretinal degeneration with marginal corneal dystrophy ( crystalline retinopathy ) : case report
A tapetoretinal degeneration combined with a marginal corneal dystrophy was described by Bietti in three patients (two of whom were brothers) in 1937.' The fundus picture was reported to be similar to that of retinitis punctata albescens, but the spots, located mainly at the posterior pole, were refractile, polygonal, and could be seen at all levels of the neuroretina. Pigment changes were seen...
متن کاملAcetazolamide for Cystoid Macular Oedema in Bietti Crystalline Retinal Dystrophy
Bietti crystalline retinal dystrophy is a rare, inherited disorder whose hallmark is the presence of retinal crystal deposits associated with later chorioretinal degeneration. This condition may rarely be complicated by the development of cystoid macular oedema leading to rapid visual decline. Currently, treatment options for this complication of Bietti dystrophy are limited and the visual prog...
متن کاملClinical and molecular findings in three Lebanese families with Bietti crystalline dystrophy: Report on a novel mutation
PURPOSE Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutation of the cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily V, polypeptide 2 (CYP4V2) gene and characterized by retinal pigmentary abnormalities and scattered deposits of crystals in the retina and the marginal cornea. The aim of this study was to investigate the spectrum of mutations in CYP4V2 in Lebanese fami...
