Advantages of Infrared Fundus Photography Evaluation of the Retinal Complications in Lecithin-Cholesterol Acyltransferase Deficiency
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: We investigate the utility of infrared fundus examination in a case of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency. A 57-year-old woman presented with blurred vision in both eyes. Her eyes had been grayish blue since a young age. She was diagnosed as LCAT deficiency at the age of 50. Slit-lamp examination revealed diffuse bilateral opacity of the corneal stroma. Because of the hazy view, fundoscopy was not possible. However, normal fundus appearance was clearly defined as examined by infrared fundus photography. We consider that it is important to note ophthalmic images using infrared fundus photography is useful method for detecting retinal complications in LCAT deficiency with corneal opacity.
