Utility of optical coherence tomography in the evaluation of patient with cherryred spot
Shinji Makino, Hironobu Tampo
Abstract :
A 4–year–old Japanese boy with 1–year history of unbalanced gait and epileptic seizure was referred to the clinic for an ophthalmological examination. Funduscopic examination revealed macular cherry–red spot. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed increased reflectivity in the retinal ganglion cell layer in both maculae. We consider that it is important to note ophthalmic images using OCT are useful method for detecting neurological metabolic disorders presenting with a cherry–red spot in the macula.
