Abstract:
Lacquer cracks are breaks in the Bruch membrane by alteration of the elastic layer. They are often associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The authors report the first case in Burkina Faso involving a 51-year-old woman who was seen for visual acuity loss. She had pseudoxanthoma elasticum associated with lacquer cracks complicated by choroidal neovascularization in both eyes. She was treated with laser photocoagulation of the neovessels in the left eye, and no recurrence was reported after 6 months.
