Hs. Eustis et al., PEROXISOMAL BIFUNCTIONAL ENZYME COMPLEX DEFICIENCY WITH ASSOCIATED RETINAL FINDINGS, Journal of pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, 32(2), 1995, pp. 125-127
Peroxisomal bifunctional enzyme complex deficiency is a recently recog
nized abnormality of fatty acid metabolism. We herein present the asso
ciation of a flecked retina with peroxisomal bifunctional enzyme defic
iency, a clinical association not previously reported. We suggest the
finding of a flecked retina in an infant presenting with hypotonia, se
izures, and failure to thrive is highly suggestive of this diagnosis.
