    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study presents two patients with vitelliform macular lesions, suggesting a common, nongenetic cause. A unified descriptive term is proposed for these distinct fundus findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Genetics
    • Retinal Diseases

    Background:

    • Vitelliform macular lesions can mimic inherited retinal dystrophies.
    • Best's vitelliform dystrophy is a known genetic cause of such lesions.
    • Differentiating acquired causes is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with vitelliform macular lesions.
    • Electrooculography (EOG) Arden ratios were normal in both patients.
    • No family history of Best's vitelliform dystrophy was reported.

    Findings:

    • The patients' clinical presentation was compared with 10 similar reported cases.
    • A common, nongenetic etiology is proposed for these cases.
    • Existing terminology for these fundus findings is deemed inappropriate.

    Implications:

    • Suggests a potential acquired etiology for certain vitelliform macular lesions.
    • Highlights the need for standardized terminology in retinal diagnostics.
    • May impact diagnostic criteria and genetic counseling for macular diseases.
