Abstract EN
A 31-year-old female suffering from membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II (MPGN II) presented to the Eye Casualty Department reporting a history of blurred and distorted vision.
The patient appeared to have drusenoid retinal epithelial detachments and minimal intraretinal fluid.
The subretinal deposits, basal lamina drusen, and pigment epithelial detachment appeared to resemble a “stars in the sky” picture with no symmetry between the eyes.
The retinal pigment epithelial detachments improved and flattened over 18 month.
and the best corrected visual acuity improved in the most affected eye.
There was no evidence of neovascularization, and the intraretinal fluid disappeared spontaneously.
