To analyze the importance f optical coherence tomography (OCT) to diagnose the cystoid macular edema in a case of gyrate atrophy.
Observational case report.
A 12-year-old boy presenting with gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina underwent ophthalmologic, clinical, and laboratory tests.
Plasma ornithine level was 735 mumol/l. Fluorescein angiography showed bilateral hyperfluorescence involving the central region of the macula. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) disclosed bilateral intraretinal cysts areas of low reflectivity with occasional high-signal elements bridging the retinal layers and intraretinal thickening.
Both fluorescein angiography and OCT were helpful to confirm the diagnosis of macular involvement as a complication of gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina in a patient who presented without any clinical evidence of cystoid macular edema, except a decrease in visual acuity.
分析光学相干断层扫描(OCT)在诊断一例回旋状萎缩患者黄斑囊样水肿中的重要性。
观察性病例报告。
对一名患有脉络膜和视网膜回旋状萎缩的12岁男孩进行眼科、临床和实验室检查。
血浆鸟氨酸水平为735μmol/l。荧光素血管造影显示双侧黄斑中心区域高荧光。光学相干断层扫描(OCT)显示双侧视网膜内囊肿区域低反射率,偶尔有高信号成分连接视网膜各层以及视网膜内增厚。
荧光素血管造影和OCT均有助于确诊黄斑受累,该患者作为脉络膜和视网膜回旋状萎缩的并发症,除视力下降外无任何黄斑囊样水肿的临床证据。
