Optical coherence tomography and blue light fundus autofluorescence imaging of retinal defects. Legend: In patient 1 (A + B), a diffuse dotted blue light fundus autofluorescence of the right eye shows widespread defects in the whole macula (A). The corresponding horizontal transfoveal optical coherence tomography shows degeneration and irregularities in the outer retina (B). In patient 2 (C + D), a more localized defect is visible in the parafoveal region on blue light fundus autofluorescence (C). The optical coherence tomography shows the same outer retinal defects as in case 1 but temporally an intact outer retina is seen (D). In case 1 the images were acquired during initial visit, and in case 2 the images were acquired at follow-up 6 months after initial visit. Scans were acquired on Spectralis OCT2 (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany)
