It is one of the most common forms of genetic macular dystrophy of childhood which is characterized by poor visual outcome, quick progression and juvenile onset. On the other end of the spectrum is fundus flavimaculatus (FFM) which is similar to Stargardt disease. However, in comparison, tends to have a slow progression rate and a later period of onset. FFM is used to describe the disease that occurs during the latter end of the second or third decade. Whereas in causes of STGD, visual acuity is negatively affected during the first two decades.
Those that have lived with the disease for over 20 years may report reduced visual acuity, whereas color vision may still be maintained, however, an unclassifiable dyschromatopsia may develop after a number of years of progression.
Genetic Aetiology:
Researchers investigating potential causes of both STGD and FFM have found there to be a continuum between the two diseases as demonstrated through genetic studies. Both conditions have been linked to the ABCA4 gene and the PRPH2 gene.
Symptoms of Fundus Flavimaculatus:
Retinal flecks which are yellowish-white deposits are commonly seen in those with FFM. The fleck’s appearance can vary in size but tend to be spear-like, polymorphous, fusiform, rounded, butterfly or X-shaped. The deposits can be distributed in the fundus or juxta macular. Initially, the flecks are yellow/white in color and well defined. Over time, they can become fuzzy, ill-defined and grey. During fundus examination, they may become difficult to see unless autofluorescent frames are used. In some cases, the retinal flecks will begin to fade over time in correlation to the increase in atrophy of retinal pigment in the epithelium.
In addition to this, those with FFM may develop changes to the pigment of the central area of the retina called the macula, loss of color vision, paracentral scotoma and photophobia.
