BACKGROUND
Case report of congenital grouped albinotic spots.
METHODS
A 24-year-old woman was referred for frontal headache related to +1.50 hypermetropia. Visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. During routine examination, fundus examination revealed multiple, irregular white spots involving the juxtapapillary and peripheral retina in both eyes. Color vision, visual fields, and electroretinographic findings were normal. Fluorescein angiograms showed hyperfluorescent spots; indocyanine green (ICG) showed hypofluorescence of these lesions.
CONCLUSIONS
These albinotic spots are uncommon benign developmental lesions of the retinal pigment epithelium; they appear to represent focal thickening of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) that is filled with white material, possibly an abnormal precursor of melanin.
