Evolution of benign concentric annular macular dystrophy.

P R van den Biesen, A F Deutman, A J Pinckers

    American Journal of Ophthalmology
    |July 15, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Benign concentric annular macular dystrophy can progress over time, leading to vision loss and changes in color perception. This follow-up study confirms the worsening of this inherited retinal condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Genetics
    • Retinal Diseases

    Background:

    • Autosomal dominant benign concentric annular macular dystrophy was first described in 1974.
    • This condition affects the macula, a key area for sharp, central vision.

    Observation:

    • A follow-up examination was conducted ten years after the initial description.
    • Patients reported worsening visual acuity, night vision, and color vision.

    Findings:

    • The macular dystrophy showed progression, with increased involvement of the fundus periphery.
    • Bone corpuscle-like pigmentations were observed in two patients.
    • Electrophysiology revealed heightened photoreceptor dysfunction affecting both rod and cone systems equally.
    • Patients exhibited an acquired type III blue-yellow color vision defect with pseudoprotanomaly.

    Implications:

    • Long-term monitoring is crucial for patients with this inherited macular dystrophy.
    • Understanding the progression aids in managing patient expectations and potential future interventions.
    • Further research into the genetic and molecular basis of this condition is warranted.
