Retina. 1985 Summer-Fall;5(3):151-3. doi: 10.1097/00006982-198500530-00003.

Abstract

The ophthalmoscopic and fluorescein angiographic findings in a seven-year-old boy with primary hyperoxaluria presented. The retinal findings in this condition have been reported previously in only ten patients. The fluorescein pattern which is considered to be very suggestive was reported previously in only one patient. In this report, ocular oxalosis is discussed, and the crystalline retinopathies are briefly reviewed.
