ABSTRACT
This case report describes the presence of bilateral macular atrophy in a patient with Alport syndrome and compares this finding with literature. At fundoscopy, there was a discrete circumscribed macular thinning showing intense retinal pigment epithelium color and the presence of whitish circular retinal lesions ("dots" and "flecks") at nasal mid periphery of both eyes. Optical coherence tomography showed bilateral partial atrophy of the neurosensory retina in the macula, with a greater extent in the temporal region. This case describes a rare ophthalmological finding in Alport syndrome and important to be recognized for a precise diagnosis as well as for determining visual prognosis.
RESUMO
Este relato de caso descreve a presença de atrofia macular bilateral em uma paciente com síndrome de Alport e compara este achado com a literatura. Ao exame fundoscópico, havia discreto afinamento macular circunscrito demonstrando a coloração intensa do epitélio pigmentado da retina e a presença de lesões retinianas circulares esbranquiçadas ("dots" e "flecks") na média periferia nasal em ambos os olhos. A tomografia de coerência óptica identificou atrofia parcial da retina neurossensorial bilateral na mácula, com maior extensão na área temporal. O caso descreve uma alteração oftalmológica rara da síndrome de Alport e de importante reconhecimento para precisar o diagnóstico e também para determinar o prognóstico visual.
