Macular changes in Type I Gaucher's disease

The authors illustrate the spectrum of Gaucher's disease involving the eye in the case of a 51-year-old man suffering from Type I Gaucher's disease wh o presented with unusual macular changes. This is the first report of chron ic adult non-neuronopathic disease (Type I) with a plaque-like mass at the fovea. Our hypothesis is that the lesion at the fovea is probably an aggreg ation of Gaucher's cells.
