[Cogwheel maculopathy--a new form of pattern dystrophy?].
On examination, the central retinal areas of both eyes of a 44-year-old woman appeared symmetrical. So far only one other case with the same findings has been described in the literature; it was termed "cogwheel macular degeneration." Distinctive fluorescein angiographic and electrophysiological features indicate that the disease is dystrophic, primarily affecting the retinal pigment epithelium. Several criteria of the findings justify including this entity in the larger group of pattern dystrophies of the retina.
