BACKGROUND: CADASIL is an inherited small vessel disease related to Notch3 gene mutations.
AIM: To report retinal findings in symptomatic CADASIL patients.
METHODS: Assessment of visual acuity (VA), testing of visual fields (VF), funduscopic examination (FE), and fluorescein angiography (FA) were carried out in 18 symptomatic patients.
RESULTS: No visual symptoms were presented by our patients. VA was normal in all. Ophthalmologic abnormalities were found in 8 patients. VF were normal except for a right hemianopia in one subject due to ischemic stroke. FE and FA revealed significant abnormalities in seven other subjects (mean age: 55 years; range: 39-74): nerve fibre loss (n = 4), cotton wool spots (n = 3), sheathed arteries (n = 1), and tortuous arteries (n = 1). Only one patient with both tortuous arteries and nerve fibre loss had multiple vascular risk factors, and another patient with cotton wool spots was a current smoker.
DISCUSSION: FE and FA revealed silent retinal abnormalities in CADASIL patients with nerve fibre loss in 22% and cotton wool spots in 17%. The presence of these abnormal retinal findings does not seem related to the severity of the disorder but may be considered as peripheral markers of this genetic disease.
