Reviewing the Role of Ultra-Widefield Imaging in Inherited Retinal Dystrophies

Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) are a heterogeneous group of rare chronic disorders caused by genetically determined degeneration of photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium cells. Ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging is a useful diagnostic tool for evaluating retinal integrity in IRD, including S...

description Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) are a heterogeneous group of rare chronic disorders caused by genetically determined degeneration of photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium cells. Ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging is a useful diagnostic tool for evaluating retinal integrity in IRD, including Stargardt disease, retinitis pigmentosa, cone dystrophies, and Best vitelliform dystrophy. Color or pseudocolor and fundus autofluorescence images obtained with UWF provide previously unavailable information on the retinal periphery, which correlates well with visual field measurement or electroretinogram. Despite unavoidable artifacts of the UWF device, the feasibility of investigations in infants and in patients with poor fixation makes UWF imaging a precious resource in the diagnostic armamentarium for IRD.
