Результаты Комплексного Подхода К Дифференцированной Клинико-Этиологической Диагностике Центральной Абиотрофии Сетчатки Штаргардта В Российской Федерации

The present study involved 48 patients at the age varying from 7 to 52 years referred to our clinic with the diagnosis of central retinal Stargardt’s dystrophy. The combined application of clinical methods and functional tests including visiometry, dynamic and static perimetry, assessment of colourperception, electroretinography, optical coherence tomography, fundus photography, biomicroscopy, direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy, fluorescence angiography, autofluorescence imaging, and molecular genetic studies made possible clinical verification of central retinal Stargardt’s dystrophy that gave evidence of the high percentage of errors in the primary diagnosis. It is concluded that the proposed integrated approach permits to develop the criteria for early differential diagnostics of central retinal Stargardt’s dystrophy.
