Hyperautofluorescent macular ring in a series of patients with enhanced S-cone syndrome

Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2014 Nov-Dec;45(6):592-5. doi: 10.3928/23258160-20141118-17.

Abstract

The authors describe fundus autofluorescence (AF) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings in three patients with enhanced S-cone syndrome and their correlation around the hyperautofluorescent ring border. Patients had AF imaging in combination with SD-OCT line-scans through the fovea, at the posterior pole, and at a temporal locus centered on the ring border. All eyes demonstrated a macular ring of high-intensity AF. The inner segment ellipsoid band showed thinning and disorganization toward the ring border, where it was lost.
