To describe a case of pentosan polysulfate maculopathy progression with 13 years of follow-up imaging. A case was analyzed and a literature review performed. A 65-year-old woman was referred to the retina service for a second opinion of a bilateral progressive pigmentary maculopathy. Her medical history was significant for interstitial cystitis that was actively treated with daily pentosan polysulfate since 2003. Multimodal imaging and fundus examination were consistent with pentosan polysulfate maculopathy. A review of records showed previous fundus imaging dating back 13 years that permitted longitudinal assessment of the disease course. Imaging findings were more prominent than the fundus examination findings. There was a 5-year period from the onset of parafoveal atrophy to foveal involvement. A pseudopodial pattern of disease expansion was seen on fundus autofluorescence. To our knowledge, this case represents the longest documented follow-up imaging of the progression of pentosan polysulfate maculopathy in the literature.
描述一例随访影像长达13年的戊聚糖多硫酸盐黄斑病变进展情况。分析了一例病例并进行文献综述。一名65岁女性因双侧进行性色素性黄斑病变寻求视网膜专科的二次诊断。她的病史中显著的一点是自2003年起患有间质性膀胱炎并每日接受戊聚糖多硫酸盐积极治疗。多模态影像和眼底检查结果与戊聚糖多硫酸盐黄斑病变相符。记录回顾显示有可追溯至13年前的眼底影像,从而能够对疾病进程进行纵向评估。影像表现比眼底检查结果更为显著。从黄斑旁萎缩开始到累及黄斑中心凹有5年时间。在眼底自发荧光上可见疾病呈假足样扩展模式。据我们所知,该病例是文献中记录的戊聚糖多硫酸盐黄斑病变进展的最长随访影像。
