Article Abstract
This study is aimed at describing a patient with unilateral retinal pigment epithelium dysgenesis (URPED) using multimodal retinal imaging combined with ocular microperimetry and multifocal electroretinogram (ERG) analysis. A 56-year-old healthy male was referred for a routine ophthalmologic control. His best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 and 20/25 in the right and left eye, respectively. Fundus examination of the left eye revealed a well-circumscribed, large yellowish-white lesion on the posterior pole that extended from the peripapillary region to the inferior temporal vascular arcade, sparing the fovea. This characteristic fundus picture led us to the diagnosis of URPED. Microperimetry demonstrated a progressive decrease of sensitivity from the normal retina toward the lesion borders, reaching a value of 0 dB at its center. Multifocal ERG displayed a reduction of central amplitudes in the involved eye. Our findings indicate a varied degree of sensitivity at the site of the lesion. Despite good visual acuity, multifocal ERG revealed reduced macular function.

Purpose: To describe multimodal imaging and electrophysiology features of CTNNA1-associated retinal dystrophy in a family with p.(Leu318Ser) substitution.
Methods: Three family members including a 48-year-old male proband, his 52-year-old sister, and their 67-year-old mother, were evaluated with multimodal imaging and electrophysiology.

Article Synopsis
- A 25-year-old man diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) showed distinct posterior segment abnormalities during examination, including bone spicule pigmentation and retinal atrophy.
- Findings from advanced imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed unique wavy protrusions on the inner retinal surface, leading to non-cystic petaloid maculopathy and changes in choroidal thickness.
- The patient's condition not only highlighted the retinal involvement linked to a genetic variant but also raised concerns about potential syndromic associations, including a major depressive disorder requiring hospitalization.
Purpose Of Review: We review the latest screening and diagnostic techniques, and the most recent recommendations on the management of hydroxychloroquine retinopathy.
Recent Findings: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been shown to cause retinal toxicity in a dose-dependent fashion. Early diagnosis is critical as the resultant retinopathy is not reversible.

Background: Occult Macular Dystrophy (OMD), primarily caused by retinitis pigmentosa 1-like 1 (RP1L1) variants, is a complex retinal disease characterised by progressive vision loss and a normal fundus appearance. This study aims to investigate the diverse phenotypic expressions and genotypic correlations of OMD in Chinese patients, including a rare case of Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy (VMD) associated with RP1L1.
Methods: We analysed seven OMD patients and one VMD patient, all with heterozygous pathogenic RP1L1 variants.
