Stargardt Disease
3 August 2023
Multi-modal retinal analysis (true color and FAF green) of a 51-year-old female diagnosed with Stargadt disease (genetic test positive for ABCA4).
True color images shows areas of RPE atrophy at the macula and multiple flecks at the posterior pole and mid periphery.
Fundus autofluorescence is an extremely helpful tool in this case, enhancing the identification of the RPE atrophy and flecks.
An interesting thing about FAF in Stargardt disease is the preserved RPE area surrounding the optic disc.
