“…The retinal findings include deeply located, irregular, sharply defined flecks of variable size distributed primarily in the nasal equatorial region. 52 A few reports on bread crumb fleck retinopathy have also been described in the literature characterized by the presence of fleck-like lesions along with normal fluorescein angiography and electrophysiological testing. 53,54 Variable shaped fundus flecks seen in the deep retina have also been described in the benign fleck retina syndrome.…”

A number of retinal disorders may present with fleck-like lesions in the retina. We describe the case of a 13-year-old girl who presented with a complaint of decreased vision and prior diagnosis of "fleck-retina." Further examination revealed that the patient had an autosomal recessive disorder associated with systemic manifestations. In the current article, the authors describe the case report and briefly review the various autosomal-recessive disorders that may present with "retinal flecks."

“…4.2.1 Gass' grouped albinotic spots; Flecked Retina of Kandori Kandori described 4 cases from Japan with an unusual retinal appearance but good visual function (Kandori, 1959;Kandori et al, 1966;Kandori et al, 1972). The characteristic changes were large, irregular but sharply defined yellow patches in mid-peripheral retina and sparing the macula.…”

Drusen are discussed frequently in the context of their association with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Some types may, however, be regarded as a normal consequence of ageing; others may be observed in young age groups. They also occur in a number of inherited disorders and some systemic conditions. Whilst drusen are classically located external (sclerad) to the retinal pigment epithelium, accumulations of material internal (vitread to) this layer can display a drusen-like appearance, having been variously termed pseudodrusen or subretinal drusenoid deposits. This review first briefly presents an overview of drusen biogenesis and subclinical deposit. The (frequently overlapping) subtypes of clinically detectable deposit, seen usually in the context of ageing or AMD, are then described in more detail, together with appearance on imaging modalities: these include hard and soft drusen, cuticular drusen, reticular pseudodrusen and "ghost drusen". Eye disorders other than AMD which may exhibit drusen or drusen-like features are subsequently discussed: these include monogenic conditions as well as conditions with undefined inheritance, the latter including some types of early onset drusen such as large colloid drusen. A number of systemic conditions in which drusen-like deposits may be seen are also considered. Throughout this review, high resolution images are presented for most of the conditions discussed, particularly the rarer ones, providing a useful reference library for images of the range of conditions associated with drusen-like appearances. In the final section, some common themes are highlighted, as well as a brief discussion of some future avenues for research.

“…The characteristics of fleck retina of Kandori large, irregular, sharply defined yellowish-white flecks; normal retinal vessels and optic nerve; absence of pigmentation of the flecks; no visual field defects; normal electroretinogram findings with dark adaptation; and onset or detection at 30 to 40 years of age are all apparent in our clinical case. 1,2 Our case is obviously different from other flecked retinal disorders by the flecks' size. The enhanced signal of ellipsoid zone of the optical coherence tomography in the present case was also unique comparing with the other fleck disorders where optical coherence tomography mostly showed the retinal pigment epithelial layer change.…”
