Abstract
We present a case of reticular pattern dystrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in a 64-year-old
woman. Fundus examination revealed discoloration at the macula in both eyes. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging
showed clearly defined reticular hyperfluorescent lesions. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated focal
thickening of the RPE, called bumps, and the inner segment/outer segment interface was disrupted. FAF and OCT were
useful in visualizing reticular pattern lesions and in localizing retinal deposits in a patient with reticular pattern dystrophy
of the RPE.
