[Adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy].
METHODS
Four cases of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy are shown. In two cases we were able to complete the exploration under optical coherence tomography. One of the patients developed spontaneous disappearance of the subfoveal deposit in her right eye along with an important decrease in her visual acuity.


CONCLUSIONS
Adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy is characterized by yellowish round-shaped bilateral, lesions in the subfoveal area. Optical coherence tomography reveal the presence of a slightly elevated lesion wich affects the retinal pigment epithelium and the external layers of neurosensory retina.
