Abstract

Bietti’ crystalline retinal dystrophy (BCD) is a rare, autosomal, recessively inherited disorder, characterized by the deposition
of yellow crystals in the corneal limbus and retina. In this paper we aimed to present a pediatric case with BCD, with
clinical, electrophysiological and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings and discuss BCD
with the light of the literature. J Clin Exp Invest 2016; 7 (1): 94-97
