Purpose
To assess usefulness of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (AVMD) diagnosis. To assess retinal pathological changes during all stages of the disease. Material and methods Retrospective case-series report. 16 patients (9 men, 7 women, mean age 60.25), with vitelliform macular dystrophy, who underwent ophthalmic examination including optical coherence tomography (OCT Stratus III, Zeiss Meditec, CA, USA) in 2005 and 2006. Retinal Thickness Map and Fast Retinal Thickness Map Acquisition Protocols were used during OCT scanning. Patients were evaluated with ETDRS charts, biomicroscopy, fluorescein angiography and electrophysiological exams. Results 7 patients (44%) were referred to our outpatient clinic with diagnosis of macular hole, 7 patients (44%) with diagnosis of AMD. In 2 patients Best disease was suspected. Diagnosis of AVMD was possible to establish in all patients including medical history, fundus photography and OCT. Conclusions OCT enables retinal morphology assessment and can be treated as the basis of adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy early evaluation, diagnosis differentiation and monitoring progression. keywords:
