Peripheral bright streaks in tuberous sclerosis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe the finding of bright hyperautofluorescent streaks in the peripheral retina in tuberous sclerosis.

Observations

A woman with a pathogenic TSC1 mutation and cutaneous manifestations of tuberous sclerosis underwent fundus examination and was found to have a cluster of thin, yellowish streaks in the inferior peripheral fundus of her left eye. The streaks were hyperautofluorescent in blue light and associated with irregular thickening of the photoreceptor-pigment epithelium complex on optical coherence tomography.

Conclusions and importance

The cluster of outer retinal abnormalities in a sector of the peripheral retina in one eye of a TSC1 patient has features in common with the more centrally located and less numerous lesions called achromatic patches
