title: Spectral domain optical coherence tomography in a patient with adult-onset vitelliform dystrophy treated with intravitreal bevacizumab.
abstract: A patient with adult-onset vitelliform dystrophy received intravitreal injections of bevacizumab in one eye. During 4 months of follow-up, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) showed a progressive decrease of yellowish deposits and complete resolution of subretinal fluid at the last followup. Despite the good anatomic outcome, the patient reported a mild decrease in visual acuity and persistent metamorphopsia. The clinical course and the correlation between the fundus findings and the morphologic information from SD-OCT data are described.
