Fundus Autofluorescence Imaging, Optical Coherence Tomography, and Multifocal Elecroretinogram Analysis of Congenital Grouped Albinotic Spots
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
A 7-year-old Japanese girl displayed multiple, variably sized, sharply circumscribed, placoid, white lesions in both eyes, with no additional symptoms. The appearance of these lesions was consistent with congenital grouped albinotic spots of the retina. Fundus autofluorescence imaging showed clearly-defined abnormal autofluorescence, corresponding to these albinotic spots. The outer retinal layer and the photoreceptor inner/outer segment junctions were observed to be irregular and discontinued corresponding to some albinotic spots, by optical coherence tomography. Multifocal electroretinograms of both eyes displayed decreased amplitudes. Therefore, we have described a case of congenital grouped albinotic spots in the eyes with functional deterioration.
