    Description
    Both eyes had similar FA findings. There was no dark choroid or signs of leakage. Granular staining around the fovea and disc were present, and the HypoAF areas corresponded to the drusenoid deposits that showed HyperAF. Mild MAs present due to NPDR 57 yo WF referred for AMD vs Pattern Dystrophy that was diagnosed 10 years ago. Reported some slow progressive vision loss in both eyes for distance and near. Denies nyctalopia or hemeralopia. Background medical history includes HTN, CVD, and DM. No family history of eye problems. Denied pentosan use. Anterior segment showed moderate cataracts (OD>OS). Posterior segment exam showed macular changes and mild NPDR. The macular appearance showed a symmetrical, paramacular ring of fleck-like drusenoid material with some faint focal areas of RPE hyperplasia. Fundus Photos, AF, OCT were performed as well as a gene test. Further questioning showed revealed that her mother and maternal grandmother had boith diabetes mellitus and sensorineural hearing loss. The patient developed diabetes in her teens, and some high frequency hearing loss in her early twenties. She had not had a previous genetic test or diagnosis of MIDD. Gene testing is pending for the mitochondrial component. Invitae's retinal panel, which does not include mitochondrial disorders, only showed a variant of uncertain significance, HMCN1. I discussed this case with Dr. Freund, and it is similar to a the case report : Inoue M, Kiss S, Freund KB. MACULAR PIGMENT RINGS AS THE PRESENTING FINDING OF MITOCHONDRIAL MYOPATHY, ENCEPHALOPATHY, LACTIC ACIDOSIS, AND STROKELIKE EPISODES. Retin Cases Brief Rep. 2015 Fall;9(4):260-4. doi: 10.1097/ICB.0000000000000182. PMID: 26200388.
