Optical Coherence Tomography, Fluorescein Angiography, and Electroretinography Features of Niacin Maculopathy: New Insight Into Pathogenesis

Purpose: We describe the features of niacin maculopathy in a 61-year old man using ocular coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography, and electroretinography (ERG). Methods: A case report is presented. Results: A 61-year-old male presented with decreased visual acuity. Cirrus OCT revealed bilateral cystic macular edema, without leakage on fluorescein angiography. Dark-adapted maximal-flash ERG demonstrated an absent b-wave. Light-adapted flicker responses revealed diminished amplitude and delayed implicit time (IT). Multifocal ERG ...
