  • Title: Angioid streaks in beta thalassaemia minor.
    Author: Kinsella FP, Mooney DJ.
    Journal: Br J Ophthalmol; 1988 Apr; 72(4):303-4. PubMed ID: 3378028.
    Abstract:
    We report what we believe to be the first recorded case of angioid streaks in a patient with beta thalassaemia minor. The occurrence of angioid streaks in a patient with a relatively normal iron balance and only very mild haemolysis may be explained by the combination of pregnancy with associated multiple transfusions in a myopic patient where an inherent defect in Bruch's membrane may exist.
