A spectrum of fundoscopic appearances characterized by the development of a variety of patterns of deposits predominantly in the macular area. The deposits are typically bilateral, relatively symmetrical, yellow/white and associated with changes at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. With time, retinal atrophy may occur. A number of pattern dystrophy subtypes have been described including butterfly-shaped dystrophy, reticular dystrophy (net-like pattern) and fundus pulverulentus (granular, mottled pigmentation).
