We describe herein a 45-year-old man who presented with Usher syndrome, a group of autosomal recessive inherited disorders characterized by congenital neurosensorial hearing loss and retinitis pigmentosa (RP), and non-specific lesions in both optic discs. The best corrected visual acuity was 20/25 ETDRS letters, and slip-lamp examination of the anterior segment was unremarkable, bilaterally. In both eyes, fundus examination revealed a waxy optic disc with thin retinal vessels and bone spicule.

Abstract

We describe herein a 45-year-old man who presented with Usher syndrome, a group of autosomal recessive inherited disorders characterized by congenital neurosensorial hearing loss and retinitis pigmentosa (RP), and non-specific lesions in both optic discs. The best corrected visual acuity was 20/25 ETDRS letters, and slip-lamp examination of the anterior segment was unremarkable, bilaterally. In both eyes, fundus examination revealed a waxy optic disc with thin retinal vessels and bone spicule.
