Two cases of AOFVD are presented with each patient having different macular appearances owing to the different stage of the disease process. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Over the same time period, 92 eyes presented with newly documented GA. Twenty-three (23) of these eyes (25.0%) had RPD present. [nature.com]

A superficial corneal scar was present on the inferior quadrant of OS. [paojournal.com]

• Plethora

  A plethora of reports have been made on Best’s disease; however, only a few literature has documented AOFVD. 1-2 CASE REPORT A 22-year-old female consulted for intermittent blurring of vision in both eyes. [paojournal.com]

• Conjunctival Injection

  The rest of the anterior-segment findings were normal except for mild conjunctival injection and a 2 x 2-mm corneal epithelial defect with fluorescein uptake in OS. Extraocular motility and visual-field screening were normal. [paojournal.com]

METHODS: Fifteen patients with AOFVD and 10 healthy volunteers underwent complete ophthalmic examination, including visual acuity determination (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study charts), blue-light autofluorescence (BL-AF) analysis, near-infrared [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]

The mean CFT in AOFVD was reduced from 418 ± 144 µm to 330 ± 64 µm following treatment (p = 0.03). At the final examination, visual acuity had improved in 3 eyes, stabilized in 1 eye, and was reduced in 7 of the AOFVD eyes examined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Before delivering any treatment, we discussed treatment options with the patient’s parents. These included laser photocoagulaton, photodynamic therapy, macular translocation and anti‐VEGF injection. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

CONCLUSIONS: This study further confirms the good visual prognosis in the AOFVD eyes. Fixation stability measurement using BCEA demonstrates good evaluation of visual performance integrating traditional functional parameters. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis - there is no progression. [patient.info]

Thus, OCT and AF findings may be helpful in following disease progression and evaluating visual prognosis. [visioncareprofessional.com]

Generally the prognosis is good. However, often the retina does become thin in the central affected area, and the sight may get slightly worse with age as the retina thins. [goodhopeeyeclinic.org.uk]

The visual prognosis is relatively good, and most patients retain reading vision in at least one eye throughout life. The progression of the visual acuity reduction is slow and begins for the most part after the age of 40 years [3]. [centrallakesclinic.biz]

The presence of different pattern dystrophies within the same family suggests a common etiologic continuum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology [ edit | edit source ] Best disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, although there can be wide phenotypic variance. [eyewiki.org]

The differential diagnosis for RPE tears include GA due to advanced AMD and various etiologies of PED; the history and corrugated appearance of RPE on OCT can differentiate these pathologies. [ophthalmologymanagement.com]

Etiology Best vitelliform dystrophy is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, with diminished penetrance and a highly variable expression. [eyewiki.aao.org]

The 40% prevalence of RPD in consecutive patients with newly presenting AFVD in this series is much higher than reported in otherwise healthy individuals from any of the reported large epidemiological studies. [nature.com]

This observation is an interesting one, in that PXE is normally an autosomal recessive genetic disease with an established pathophysiology. [nature.com]

The ratio of males to females is approximately 1:1. [1] Pathophysiology [ edit ] Mutations in the RDS and VMD2 genes cause vitelliform macular dystrophy. Mutations in the VMD2 gene are responsible for Best disease. [en.wikipedia.org]

General Pathology and Pathophysiology [ edit | edit source ] The abnormal chloride channel in the RPE leads to a buildup of lipofuscin, a retinal breakdown pigment, between the outer retina and the retinal pigment epithelium. [eyewiki.org]

Primary prevention [ edit | edit source ] There are no recognized preventative measures. The diagnosis of Best disease is primarily made based on clinical appearance, however family history and adjunvant testing can help confirm the diagnosis. [eyewiki.org]
