To report fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings in a patient with early hydroxychloroquine maculopathy.
A 50-year-old man presented with complaints of ring-like shadows in front of his eyes. He had been on hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) 400 mg orally twice daily for 10 years (5.14 mg/kg/day). Fundus examination revealed granular hypopigmentation in an arcuate pattern in the inferior parafoveal area bilaterally. The patient underwent further evaluation with SD-OCT and FAF imaging. Functional changes were assessed by microperimetry.
Hypopigmented lesions on the fundus were autofluorescent and SD-OCT corresponding to this area revealed loss of inner segment-outer segment, suggesting loss of photoreceptor layer in the affected area with underling dysfunctional retinal pigment epithelium.
Findings on SD-OCT and FAF imaging support the histopathologic findings described in cases of hydroxychloroquine maculopathy.
报告1例早期羟氯喹黄斑病变患者的眼底自发荧光(FAF)和频域光学相干断层扫描(SD - OCT)检查结果。
一名50岁男性主诉眼前有环状阴影。他口服羟氯喹(硫酸羟氯喹片)400毫克,每日两次,共10年(5.14毫克/千克/天)。眼底检查显示双侧黄斑下区域呈弓形颗粒状色素减退。患者接受了SD - OCT和FAF成像的进一步评估。通过微视野检查评估功能变化。
眼底色素减退病变呈自发荧光,SD - OCT显示对应区域内节 - 外节缺失,提示受累区域光感受器层缺失及视网膜色素上皮功能障碍。
SD - OCT和FAF成像结果支持羟氯喹黄斑病变病例中描述的组织病理学发现。
