Foveal crack sign and macular pattern dystrophy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine if eyes with the foveal crack sign (FCS) in macular pattern dystrophy (MPD) progress to macular holes, and if FCS occurs in the context of hyperreflective foci (HRF) that do not reach the threshold of FCS.

Patients and methods

A retrospective chart review of eyes with MPD was conducted in the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist medical system. 56 eyes from 32 patients identified as having macular pattern dystrophy were identified. Demographic data were collected from charts and spectral domain optical coherence tomographs (SD-OCTs) were analyzed.

Results

8 eyes from 6 patients were found to have an FCS-positive OCT at any point at or following their initial diagnosis of MPD. One eye developed a full-thickness stage 4 macular hole during follow-up. T
