Bietti’ Crystalline Retinal Dystrophy: A Case Report

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.
