Abstract |
A 41-year-old woman showed a bilateral chorioretinal dystrophy with retinal crystal deposits, geographic areas of atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, and choriocapillaris in the posterior pole. Crystals were observed in the sensory retina and on the retinal vessels. But the patient did not have corneal crystals. There was no visual symptom, however, the results of electrophysiologic tests were subnormal. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Bietti's crystalline retinopathy in Korea. |
