[Choroideremia: one-year follow-up with scanning laser polarimetry examination].

AbstractCASE REPORT:
We report the follow-up of a case of choroideremia who underwent three white-on-white automated visual field and three scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) examinations by means of a GDx VCC in the course of one year. A bilateral perimetric deterioration in indices and scotomas was found. As a result, retinal nerve fiber layer retardation parameters and maps changed on GDx VCC advanced serial analyses in both eyes.
DISCUSSION:
Serial analyses with GDx VCC may be used as objective and quantitative tests to assess the progression of chorioretinal dystrophies like choroideremia
