OBJECTIVE: To describe new features and ocular coherence tomographic scans of individuals with West African crystalline maculopathy (WACM).
DESIGN: Prospective observational case series.
PARTICIPANTS: All 14 patients with WACM identified in the medical retina clinic during a 6-month period.
METHODS: Full ophthalmic examination and high-resolution ocular coherence tomographic imaging and fluorescein angiography where indicated.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Ethnicity and dietary history of individuals, location of crystals, and associated retinal comorbidity.
RESULTS: Patients originated from several West African countries. Two patients had unilateral WACM. The crystals were yellow-green in color, birefringent, and located in the layer of Henle of the fovea. Coexistent retinal pathology was present in all patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Several new features of the condition are described. Breakdown of the blood retinal barrier may play a role in the formation of the crystals.
