Abstract
Crystalline retinopathy is a tapetoretinal degeneration characterized by glistening yellow intraretinal crystals in the posterior pole, chorioidal sclerosis, and corneal crystalline dystrophy. We have recently encountered a 36 year-old female patient with bilateral intraretinal crystalline depositions who presented with a complaint of visual disturbance in her right eye for the last six months. Typical fundus findings of crystalline deposition in the posterior pole, tapetoretinal dysfunctions in the electrophysiologic tests and choriocapillaris filling defects in the fluorescein angiogram suggest that this the disorder is a widespread choriocapillaris and tapetoretinal disorder. There are no significant abnormal findings in serologic and radiologic examinations.
Key Words: Tapetoretinal Degeneration;Crystalline Retinopathy;Electrophysiologic test;Fluorescein Angiogram
