| Summary: | Occult macular dystrophy is an inherited macular dystrophy characterized by a progressive decline of bilateral visual acuity with normal
fundus appearance, fluorescein angiogram and full-field electroretinogram. This case report presents a 20-year-old female patient with
bilateral progressive decline of visual acuity for six years. Her visual acuity was 3-4/10 in both eyes. Anterior segment and fundus
examination, fluorescein angiogram and full-field electroretinogram were normal. She could read all Ishihara pseudoisochromatic plates.
Fundus autofluorescence imaging was normal. There was a mild central hyporeflectance on fundus infrared reflectance imaging in both
eyes. Reduced foveal thickness and alterations of the photoreceptor inner and outer segment junction were observed by optical coherence
tomography in both eyes. Central scotoma was also found by microperimetry and reduced central response was revealed by multifocal
electroretinogram in both eyes. These findings are consistent with the clinical characteristics of occult macular dystrophy |
