  • Title: Fundus autofluorescence in cone dystrophy.
    Author: Wang NK, Chou CL, Lima LH, Cella W, Tosi J, Yannuzzi LA, Tsang SH.
    Journal: Doc Ophthalmol; 2009 Oct; 119(2):141-4. PubMed ID: 19340470.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe fundus autofluorescence (FAF) finding in a case of cone dystrophy. METHODS: Interventional case report. RESULTS: A 23-year-old woman presented with increasing photophobia and decreasing vision in both eyes for 2 years. Fundus examination showed several drusen-like dots. FAF revealed hyper-autofluorescence in the foveola. Electroretinogram (ERG) demonstrated a pure "cone" dystrophy. CONCLUSION: Hyper-autofluorescence in the foveola is a non-specific manifestation of photoreceptor-retinal pigment epithelium dysfunction. ERG studies are essential for accurate diagnosis.
