| Summary: |
Stargardt’s macular
dystrophy is one of the central retinal dystrophies with
its’ onset in first two decades of life. Affected
patients usually present with gradual decrease in visual
acuity and exhibit a highly characteristic pattern in
fluorescein angiography. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
also reveals typical features of macular morphology such
as decreased retinal thickness, most prominent in the
fovea, and atrophic changes in outer retinal layers.
Because of a characteristic OCT appearance, this
examination may become a useful tool for diagnosing and
monitoring Stargardt’s macular dystrophy. |
| Key words: |
