Abstract
To document the static nature of crystalline deposits in talc retinopathy. Case report. A 38-year-old woman with a remote history of intravenous drug abuse showed the incidental finding of fine, irregularly shaped refractile deposits in the retinal microvasculature. At 2-year follow-up, fundus findings were identical to the initial manifestation with respect to the distribution and position of crystalline deposits in each fundus. This case documents the static nature of crystalline deposits in talc retinopathy.
