Retinal capillaritis in a CRB1-associated retinal dystrophy.

Abstract

PURPOSE:

To report a case of CRB1-associated retinal dystrophy characterized by vitritis, retinal capillaritis, and cystoid macular edema (CME).

METHODS:

A case report.

RESULTS:

An 8-year-old boy was diagnosed with intermediate uveitis and treated with corticosteroids. He was subsequently diagnosed with retinal dystrophy and found to have two CRB1 mutations.

CONCLUSIONS:

Retinal capillaritis, vitritis, and CME could be inflammatory features of CRB1 retinal dystrophy in our young patient.
