Stair-Case/Honeycomb Maculopathy in Alport Syndrome: A Case Report

While severe irregular thinning of the macula is not a common feature in Alport syndrome, when it is present in patients who have not been previously diagnosed, particularly in patients with renal disease, it should suggest the diagnosis of Alport syndrome. Its occurrence can be the cause of vision loss which is not commonly associated with Alport central maculopathy.

Abstract

While severe irregular thinning of the macula is not a common feature in Alport syndrome, when it is present in patients who have not been previously diagnosed, particularly in patients with renal disease, it should suggest the diagnosis of Alport syndrome. Its occurrence can be the cause of vision loss which is not commonly associated with Alport central maculopathy.
