A 42-year-old white female complaining of decreased vision was examined and small golden particles were found in the macular regions of both eyes. It was ascertained that the patient had been using an oral bronzing agent, canthaxanthine (Orobronze), for the previous 10 years.
The method of deposition of these crystalline particles and their possible sequela are presented. The differential diagnosis of this condition is also described.
In this case a crystalline retinopathy was induced by the oral ingestion of a bronzing agent.
Although the gold-like particles have no visual consequences, it is important for the clinician and the patient to be aware of their etiology.
一名42岁的白人女性因视力下降前来检查，结果在其双眼黄斑区发现了细小的金色颗粒。经查明，该患者在过去10年中一直在使用一种口服增色剂——角黄素（奥罗青铜）。
介绍了这些结晶颗粒的沉积方法及其可能产生的后果。还描述了这种病症的鉴别诊断。
在该病例中，口服增色剂诱发了结晶性视网膜病变。
尽管这些类似金子的颗粒不会造成视力问题，但临床医生和患者了解其病因很重要。
