OPHTHALMIC FINDINGS IN LATE STAGE SJOGREN-LARSSON SYNDROME.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report spectral domain optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence documentation of late stage macular findings associated with Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome in three adult siblings.

Methods

Three adult siblings with Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome underwent ophthalmic examination and imaging.

Results

Crystalline maculopathy and subretinal deposits, presumably lipofuscin accumulation, with macular atrophy were present in varying degrees in all three adult siblings.

Discussion

In adults with Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome, crystalline retinopathy can progress to macular atrophy and the appearance of lipofuscin accumulation.
