RESUMO
Presentation of a case of crystalline macular distrophy diagnosed in a female patient with Sjögren-Larsson syndrome. The disease consists of clinical findings of spastic diplegia or tetraplegia, mental retardation, and congential ichthyosis. The eyes are affected in up to 100% of cases, and crystalline maculopathy is the main finding as described in this case report. On fundus examination multiple white dots were observed at ophthalmoscopy. The optical coherence tomography has shown not only the hipereflexive intraretinal spots but also macular atrophy with macular thickness reduction. The tomographic findings were first described in our country.

Apresentação de um caso de distrofia macular cristalina em paciente do sexo feminino com síndrome de Sjögren-Larsson. A doença caracteriza-se pela tríade: ictiose congênita, diplegia ou tetraplegia espástica e retardo mental. Os olhos são acometidos em até 100% dos casos sendo característica a presença de maculopatia cristalina como observado na paciente relatada. À fundoscopia observou-se a presença de depósitos esbranquiçados perifoveais. A tomografia de coerência óptica evidenciou pontos hiper-reflexivos correspondentes aos depósitos intrarretinianos, atrofia macular com redução na espessura macular em ambos os olhos. Os achados relacionados à síndrome, à tomografia de coerência óptica foram apresentados de maneira inédita em nosso meio.
