RESUMEN
CASO CLÍNICO Varón de 55 años con nictalopía, fotofobia, mala visión de los colores y nistagmo. Nos planteamos el diagnóstico diferencial entre la acromatopsia y el monocromatismo de conos azules, puesto que ambos son clínicamente indistinguibles. En la tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT) nos encontramos un patrón de reflectividad foveal característico de la acromatopsia, diagnóstico que posteriormente confirmamos con el estudio genético.

DISCUSIÓN:

La OCT es un método de diagnóstico por imagen, no invasivo, que permite la visualización de los tejidos con alta resolución. Su aportación en enfermedades clínicamente similares es fundamental porque nos ayuda a hacer el diagnóstico
ABSTRACT
CASE REPORT The case of a fifty five year-old male with nyctalopia, photophobia, poor colour vision and nystagmus, is presented. The initial suspected diagnoses were achromatopsia and blue-cone monochromatism, since both are clinically indistinguishable. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed the characteristic foveal reflectivity pattern of achromatopsia. This diagnosis was subsequently confirmed by genetic study.

DISCUSSION:

OCT is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging method that allows tissue morphology to be observed with high resolution. Its use might be of great help to distinguish clinically similar diseases
