Abstract
SummaryBackgroundThe aim of our study was to analyze spectral optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings in a patient with clinical signs of sialidosis.Case ReportFluorescein angiography and spectral optical coherence tomography was performed in a 37-year-old woman using a SD-OCT device with axial resolution of 6 μm. Enzyme assay followed. The patient was diagnosed with type I sialidosis by enzymatic assay. Besides a normal angiogram, a thickened nerve fiber layer was observed on spectral optical coherence tomography.ConclusionsThe thickened nerve fiber layer was probably caused by accumulation of metabolic products such as sialylated oligosaccharides and glycopeptides, suggesting that SD- OCT, due to its enhanced resolution, can be a useful tool for diagnosis of rare neurological conditions.
