Macular dystrophies encompass a group of progressive degenerations of the retina and\/or choroid affecting the macular area. They represent phenotypical manifestations of metabolic disorders or mutations in genes expressed in the posterior retina.<\/p>\n

They are characterized predominantly by changes in the posterior pole of genetic etiology, and are often bilateral and symmetrical. The disease usually begins at an early age, has a slow progression, and leads to decreased central visual acuity and central scotoma. At present, there are no treatment modalities to prevent disease progression.<\/p>\n

Sorsby\u2019s macular dystrophy is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, manifests usually between the 4th and 5th decades of life, and is characterized by a rapid and progressive loss of central visual acuity and peripheral visual dysfunction. The phenotype includes serous and hemorrhagic detachment of the macula, interspersed with pigmented changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
