- Left eye Green-FAF image, of a 50 year old patient, diagnosed with bilateral Pericentral variant of Retinitis Pigmentosa. The disease is characterized by pigmentary changes closer to the macula, and an earlier involvement of central visual acuity as compared to typical RP. We can see prominent, scalloped hypoautofluorescent lesions in the pericentral region, which corresponds to areas of severe RPE atrophy and photoreceptor cell loss. Macula shows preserved background autofluorescence, with darker areas corresponding to no detectable fluorescence due to macular atrophy (loss of melanin/lipofuscin).
