Flecked-retina syndromes.
A number of retinal disorders may present with fleck-like lesions in the retina. We describe the case of a 13-year-old girl who presented with a complaint of decreased vision and prior diagnosis of "fleck-retina." Further examination revealed that the patient had an autosomal recessive disorder associated with systemic manifestations. In the current article, the authors describe the case report and briefly review the various autosomal-recessive disorders that may present with "retinal flecks."
