Bietti's crystalline retinal dystrophy is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation in the CYP4V2 gene.[1] The left eye of a patient is featured here. The fundus showed glistening, yellow crystals deposited in the retina [Figure 1]a. Fundus autofluorescence showed hypoautofluorescence suggestive of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy with surrounding granular hyperautofluorescence indicative of distressed retinal pigment epithelial cells [Figure 1]b. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed disruption of the outer retinal layers, outer retinal tubulations, RPE, and choroidal atrophy [Figure 1]c. OCT angiography of the choriocapillaris slab showed flow voids. Vessels from the deeper choroidal layer were also seen here due to increased penetration secondary to atrophy of RPE and choriocapillaris (arrow) [Figure 1]d. | Figure 1: (a) Left eye fundus photo showing glistening, yellow crystals deposited in the retina. (b) Left eye fundus autofluorescence showing hypoautofluorescence in the area corresponding to the retinal crystals. (c) OCT showed disruption of the outer retinal layers, outer retinal tubulations, RPE and choroidal atrophy. (d) OCT (optical coherence tomography) angiography of the choriocapillaris slab showing flow voids. Vessels from the deeper choroidal layer are also seen here (arrow)
