  • Title: [Chance discovery of a unilateral bull's eye maculopathy].
    Author: Suárez Baraza J, López Tizón E, Suárez Parra S.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2004 Sep; 79(9):461-4. PubMed ID: 15389369.
    Abstract:
    CASE REPORT: We report the case of a diabetic twenty-five-year-old male with an asymptomatic bull's eye maculopathy in the left eye who was diagnosed by chance in a routine examination. The electrophysiological test showed a right eye photopic electroretinogram at the lower limit of normality. DISCUSSION: In the presence of a bull's eye maculopathy we must rule out several pathologies like degenerative diseases, drug toxicity, previous trauma and infectious -- inflammatory diseases. Electrophysiology as well as family and personal history can help us to differentiate between several diseases though in our case the cause was unknown.
