The authors propose an office-based, cost-effective, minimally invasive, sutureless technique for treating SOFP with local anesthesia in a safe and effective manner. The lack of complications or recurrence with an adequate follow-up period following this technique is encouraging. Surgeons should consider this technique in the surgical correction of SOFP.
Purpose: We describe the unusual clinical presentation of a 33-year-old woman subsequently identified as a carrier of RP2-associated X-linked retinitis pigmentosa.Methods: Case report.Results: A 33-year-old woman without a known family history of retinal disease presented with unilateral reduced visual acuity and central scotoma in the left eye. Examination showed underlying macular atrophy in the left eye and a bilateral tapetal-like reflex. Full-field electroretinogram was abnormal in the left eye but normal in the right eye. Notable findings on wide-field imaging included bilateral peripheral vascular leakage on fluorescein angiography and a bilaterally symmetric radial pattern of hyperfluorescence on fundus autofluorescence. Genetic testing demonstrated a pathogenic variant in the gene RP2 confirming that she was a carrier of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa.
Conclusion:We describe clinical features of the carrier state of RP2-XLRP and expand potential findings to include peripheral vascular leakage. This case highlights the importance of awareness of the carrier state, particularly if a family history cannot be provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
