A Case of Reticular Pattern Dystrophy of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
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.
