| Summary: |
Stargardt's disease is one
of the central retinal dystrophies with its onset in
first two decades of life presenting gradual decrease in
visual acuity and typical features in fluorescein
angiography. The aim of the study was to evaluate the
macular area in patients with diagnosed Stargardt's
disease with the use of optical coherence tomography.
11patients (22 eyes) were enrolled to the study. OCT
examination revealed characteristic similar features of
macular images in all patients. They included decreased
thickness of the retina, most prominent in foveola, and
changes in external retinal layers: lack of
photoreceptors and nuclear external layer and changes in
retinal pigment epithelium. Because of typical features
in macular appearance, optical coherence tomography may
become a useful tool for confirming diagnosis of
Stargardt's disease. |
