Associated ocular findings in pericentral pigmentary retinopathy

. Macular complications occurred in two isolated patients who had pericentral pigmentary retinopathy. One patient demonstrated bilateral bull'seye maculopathy and a unilateral full‐thickness macular hole. Later, she developed central retinal artery occlusion in the fellow eye. The second patien...

Description
Summary:. Macular complications occurred in two isolated patients who had pericentral pigmentary retinopathy. One patient demonstrated bilateral bull'seye maculopathy and a unilateral full‐thickness macular hole. Later, she developed central retinal artery occlusion in the fellow eye. The second patient had a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment that was reattached by scleral buckling surgery, but a full‐thickness macular hole was found 3 months postoperatively. In both patients, foveal ischemia may have played a role for the development of macular hole, resulting in poor visual prognosis in pericentral pigmentary retinopathy.
