Abstract

We describe the fundus autofluorescence findings of a patient with central areolar choroidal dystrophy. A 34-year-old man presented with decreased vision in both eyes. Fundus examination revealed retina pigment epithelium changes along with well-circumscribed areas of chorioretinal atrophy and baring of large choroidal vessels in both eyes. In fundus autofluorescence imaging obtained by a scanning laser ophthalmoscope, hypoautofluorescence corresponding to the atrophic areas and speckled hyperautofluorescence in the remaining macular regions were detected. Additionally, a hyperautofluorescent circle was observed in perifoveal areas in both eyes. Fundus autofluorescence is a noninvasive imaging method that may be used for the diagnosis and follow-up of hereditary macular dystrophies and may reveal additional data that are not obtained by both ophthalmoscopy and fundus angiography.

Özet

Bu çalışmada santral areolar koroidal distrofi tanısı konulan bir olgunun fundus otofloresansı bulguları tartışılmaktadır. Her iki gözde az görme ile başvuran 34 yaşındaki erkek hastanın yapılan fundus muayenesinde makulada retina pigment epitel değişikliklerinin yanı sıra düzgün sınırlı korioretinal atrofi alanları ve büyük koroidal damarlarda belirginleşme saptandı. Tarayıcı konfokal lazer oftalmoskop ile görüntülenen fundus otofloresansı incelemesinde atrofi alanlarıına uygun düşen yerleşimlerde hipootofloresans izlenirken, diğer makula alanlarında benekli hiperotofloresans olduğu tespit edildi. Ayrıca, her iki gözde perifoveal alanlarda halka şeklinde artmış otofloresans olduğu görüldü. Fundus otofloresansı makula distrofilerinin tanı ve takibinde kullanılabilen non-invasif bir görüntüleme yöntemi olup oftalmoskopi ve fundus anjiografisi ile saptanamayan ilave bulgular elde edilmektedir.
