Natural history of acquired retinal oxalosis in a child.
We report the natural history of acquired retinal oxalosis in a child with chronic renal failure. The clinical manifestations were characterized by a transient crystalline retinopathy, but stable, diffuse, flecked retina-like changes and focal hypertropic retinal pigment epithelial lesions. The pathophysiology and previous reports of retinal oxalosis are reviewed.
