Abstract Details

Purpose:

describe the clinical, angiographic and evolutionary aspect of stargardt's disease

Setting:

case report collected in the service of pediatric ophthalmology of the university hospital of casablanca

Methods:

We report the case of 15-year-old boy who consults for a progressive decrease in visual acuity (VA) for 3 years.

Results:

On ophthalmologic examination, visual acuity was 1/10 in both eyes and Fundus examination  indicated major macular atrophy with yellowish macular lesion. The retinal periphery was normal. Paraclinical examinations, namely autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence topography macular and ERG, confirmed the diagnosis of stargardt type 1 disease.

Conclusions:

Stargardt's disease is a bilateral symmetrical maculopathy with yellow, autofluorescent pisciform deposits. The diagnosis is based on the interrogation, the fundus and the complementary examinations (autofluorescent shots, angiography, OCT and ERG).
