Multifocal Best disease, a rare vitelliform macular dystrophy, presents unique challenges. This study examines four cases, highlighting varied lesion stages and locations for better diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Genetics
  • Retinal Imaging

Background:

  • Best disease is a rare inherited macular dystrophy.
  • Characterized by vitelliform lesions in the macula.
  • Multifocal presentations are exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • Four cases of multifocal vitelliform disease were analyzed.
  • Fluorescein angiography was used to assess lesions.
  • Lesions were observed in both macular and extramacular areas.

Findings:

  • Multifocal vitelliform lesions exhibit diverse evolutionary stages.
  • Extramacular lesions may show different progression compared to central ones.
  • Fluorescein angiography reveals distinct patterns in varying lesion types.

Implications:

  • Understanding multifocal presentations aids in accurate diagnosis of Best disease.
  • Recognizing varied lesion stages improves prognostic assessment.
  • Further research into extramacular involvement is warranted.
