Fundus auto fluorescence imaging and optical coherence tomography analysis in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa inversa
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
We present a case of retinitis pigmentosa inversa in a 63-year-old female patient. Fundus examination revealed diffuse chorio retinal degeneration with bone-spicule pigmentary alterations in the posterior pole and mid-peripheral retina, whereas pigmentary alteration was not detected in the peripheral retina. Fundus auto fluorescence imaging demonstrated clearly defined hypo fluorescence was observed corresponding to the chorio retinal atrophy at the posterior pole in both eye. On optical coherence tomography, the photoreceptor line was undetectable in both eyes. Our findings may contribute to a better understanding of this rare condition. Keywords: retinitis pigmentosa, retinitis pigmentosa inversa, fundus auto fluorescence, optical coherence tomography
