A Case of Reticular Pattern Dystrophy of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a case of reticular pattern dystrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in a 64-year-old woman. Fundus examination revealed discoloration at the macula in both eyes. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging showed clearly defined reticular hyperfluorescent lesions. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated focal thickening of the RPE, called bumps, and the inner segment/outer segment interface was disrupted. FAF and OCT were useful in visualizing reticular pattern lesions and in localizing retinal deposits in a patient with reticular pattern dystrophy of the RPE.

متن کاملMorphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells after transplantation of stem cells into subretinal space
Introduction: Degenerative retinal diseases are main cause of irreversible blindness. Stem cells therapy is a promising way in these diseases. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells because of its safety can produce degenerated cells and can play important role in treatment. The aim of this study was to examine morphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells...

متن کاملVitelliform dystrophy and pattern dystrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium: concomitant presence in a family.
We describe three siblings presenting unusual pigmented dystrophic lesions of the fovea. The first sibling showed macroreticular dystrophy associated with butterfly shaped dystrophy in one eye and associated with vitelliform cyst in the other eye. The second showed the atrophic outcome of a vitelliform cyst with development of subretinal neovascular membrane in one eye and a radial pigmented ma...
