Retinal crystalline lesions in pseudoxanthoma elasticum
An 11-year-old healthy boy was evaluated for incidental retinal crystalline lesions. Visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Fundus examination of the right (A) and left (B) eyes demonstrated multiple crystalline bodies (blue arrows) scattered throughout the midperipheral and peripheral retina, a peau d'orange pattern of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE), alterations in the temporal retina (white arrow), and angioid streaks (yellow arrow) around the optic nerve on fundus autofluorescence imaging (C).Bilateral cilioretinal artery occlusions in giant cell arteritis
An 82-year-old man presented with painless sequential vision loss of his right eye (OD). Ten days earlier, he presented to another hospital for left eye (OS) vision loss. His vision was Light perception only OD and No light perception OS. Fundoscopy demonstrated bilateral cilioretinal artery occlusions with chalky white optic disc swelling OS (Fig. A, B). Although he denied symptoms of giant cell arteritis (GCA) and had normal inflammatory markers, his clinical examination was suspicious for GCA, which was confirmed by temporal artery biopsy.
