Disease Name Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy
Synonyms
Bietti tapetoretinal Degeneration with marginal corneal dystrophy; Bietti crystalline dystrophy; BCD; Bietti crystalline retinopathy; Bietti's crystalline dystrophy; Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy
Definition
Bietti's crystalline dystrophy (BCD) is a rare progressive autosomal recessive tapetoretinal degeneration disease, occurring in the third decade of life, characterized by small sparkling crystalline deposits in the posterior retina and corneal limbus in addition to sclerosis of the choroidal vessels and manifesting as nightblindness, decreased vision, paracentral scotoma, and, in the end stages of the disease, legal blindness.
