"Vitelliform" lesions in adults.

M F Marmor

    Annals of Ophthalmology
    |November 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Adults with symmetric yellow foveal lesions may not have Best's vitelliform dystrophy. Diagnosis requires severely depressed EOG light/dark ratio and family history of inherited maculopathy.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Retina

    Background:

    • Symmetric yellow foveal lesions, often termed vitelliform lesions, can manifest in adults.
    • Distinguishing these from Best's vitelliform dystrophy is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Adult vitelliform lesions exhibit variable sizes, ranging from one-third to several disc diameters.
    • These lesions may coexist with or occur independently of drusen.

    Findings:

    • A definitive diagnosis of Best's vitelliform dystrophy in adults with vitelliform lesions requires a severely depressed electroretinogram (EOG) light/dark ratio.
    • A positive family history of dominantly inherited maculopathy is also a key diagnostic criterion.

    Implications:

    • The etiology of adult vitelliform lesions is multifactorial, potentially involving degenerative changes.

  • Degenerative processes associated with drusen or pigment epithelial detachment are implicated in the development of many adult vitelliform lesions.
