Optical coherence tomography demonstration of Best's vitelliform macular dystrophy in a child

Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging. 2007 Nov-Dec;38(6):511-3. doi: 10.3928/15428877-20071101-14.

Abstract

Considering the importance of optical coherence tomography in clinical decision making, the veracity of these images is critical. The authors describe a 5-year-old girl with Best's vitelliform macular dystrophy of different stages of development in both eyes in which the optical coherence tomography appearance correlated well with both the staves of the disease and the visual function.
