ADULT-ONSET FOVEOMACULAR VITELLIFORM DYSTROPHY

Alternate names

ADULT-ONSET FOVEOMACULAR VITELLIFORM DYSTROPHY Is also known as adult-onset foveomacular dystrophy, gass disease, pseudo-vitelliform macular dystrophy, adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy, pseudo-best disease, vitelliform macular dystrophy, adult-onset, foveomacular dystrophy, adult-onset, adult-onset foveomacular dyst

Description

Adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AOFVD) is a genetic macular dystrophy characterized by blurred vision, metamorphopsia and mild visual impairment secondary to a slightly elevated, yellow, egg yolk-like lesion located in the foveal or parafoveal region.

Most common symptoms of ADULT-ONSET FOVEOMACULAR VITELLIFORM DYSTROPHY

  • Visual impairment
  • Visual loss
  • Rod-cone dystrophy
  • Reduced visual acuity
  • Photophobia

MACULAR DYSTROPHY, VITELLIFORM, 4; VMD4

Description

Macular dystrophies are inherited retinal dystrophies in which various forms of deposits, pigmentary changes, and atrophic lesions are observed in the macula lutea, the cone-rich region of the central retina. Vitelliform macular dystrophies (VMDs) form a subset of macular dystrophies characterized by round yellow deposits, usually at the center of the macula and containing lipofuscin, a chemically heterogeneous pigment visualized by autofluorescence imaging of the fundus (summary by Manes et al., 2013). Vitelliform macular dystrophy-4 is characterized by late-onset moderate visual impairment, small satellite drusen-like lesions in the foveal area, preservation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) reflectivity, deposits above the RPE between the ellipsoid and outer segment interdigitation lines on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and normal or borderline results on electrooculography (EOG) (Meunier et al., 2014).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of vitelliform macular dystrophy, see VMD1 (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of MACULAR DYSTROPHY, VITELLIFORM, 4; VMD4

  • Visual impairment
  • Abnormality of skin pigmentation
  • Macular dystrophy
  • Drusen
  • Vitelliform-like macular lesions
