Abstract
CLINICAL CASE
A five-year-old patient, with a diagnosis of long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, was referred for an ophthalmological examination. He had a history of acute metabolic crises precipitated by intercurrent infections,as well as rhabdomyolysis. The fundoscopic examination revealed a peripapillary chorioretinal atrophy and a diffuse granular appearance of the macular retinal pigment epithelium. Best corrected visual acuity was 6/6 in both eyes, and he had a normal electroretinography test.
DISCUSSION
We perform a review of the literature and recent findings in relation to this disease through the description of a clinical case in order to improve the knowledge of this uncommon disorder.
