A rare, patterned dystrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium characterized by multiple yellowish irregular flecks scattered or interconnected around the macula, simulating what is observed in Stargardt disease, and usually asymptomatic until adulthood when patients present with a slowly progressive loss of vision that often only becomes apparent in old age. Finding site True Structure of retinal pigment epithelium Inferred relationship Some 1
A rare, patterned dystrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, of progressive course, characterized by the presence of a bilateral hyperpigmented reticular pattern resembling a fishnet with knots, resulting in a slowly progressive loss of vision that often only becomes apparent in old age. This disorder is sometimes associated with scleral staphyloma, choroidal neovascularization, convergent strabismus, spherophakia with myopia and luxated lenses, and partial atrophy of the iris.

Fundus pulverulentus is a rare form of patterned dystrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium characterized by a granular appearance in the macula, with coarse and punctiform mottling of the retinal pigment epithelium within the macular region. Association with choroidal neovascularization has been reported. Finding site True Structure of retinal pigment epithelium Inferred relationship Some 1

A rare benign eye tumor characterized by the presence of glial cells, vascular tissue, and sheets of pigment epithelial cells lacking the distribution and organization of the normal retina and retinal pigment epithelium. The lesion is most commonly found unilaterally as a slightly elevated mass in a peripapillary location but can also occur in the macula or the retinal periphery. It is sometimes associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 or 2, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, or branchio-oculo-facial syndrome. Patients may be asymptomatic or present with progressive loss of vision. Finding site True Structure of retinal pigment epithelium Inferred relationship Some 1

Biallelic mutation carriers have a mutation (not necessarily the same mutation) in both copies of a particular gene (a paternal and a maternal mutation). The RPE65 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme that is essential for normal vision and mutations in this gene result in reduced or absent levels of RPE65 activity, blocking the visual cycle and resulting in impaired vision. Almost all patients eventually progress to complete blindness. Finding site True Structure of retinal pigment epithelium Inferred relationship Some 2
Patchy atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium (disorder) Finding site True Structure of retinal pigment epithelium Inferred relationship Some 1
A rare, genetic retinal disease characterized by the characteristic dried-out soil fundus pattern due to diffuse deep white lines in the macula, to the level of the retinal pigment epithelium, which is slightly elevated and rippled. Macular exudation may be associated, and Bruch's membrane may be affected too. Occasionally, peripheral nummular pigmentary changes may be observed, associated with blindness. The lesions enlarge with time, with a preferential macular extension and confluence. Complications may include polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, choroidal neovascularization or atrophic fibrous macular scarring that can lead to reduced visual acuity over time.
