Retin Cases Brief Rep. 2017;11(1):1-3. doi: 10.1097/ICB.0000000000000272.

Abstract

Purpose: To report long-term follow-up in a patient with retinal oxalosis from primary hyperoxaluria.

Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed for this patient.

Patients: A 6-year-old girl that presented to our clinic before and after combined kidney/liver transplant.

Results: Optical coherence tomography and fundus findings consistent with oxalate crystal deposition.

Conclusion: Progressive macular changes, including atrophy and fibrosis can occur in crystalline retinopathy, secondary to hyperoxaluria, after combined hepatorenal transplant.
