Özet
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II (MPGN II) is a rarely encountered disease that leads to accumulation of “dense deposits” in the kidneys and chorioretinal tissues. We present the ophthalmologic and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings of a 13-year-old boy with pathologically proven MPGN II followed up at the pediatric nephrology clinic. The patient did not have any ocular symptoms, fundus examination showed yellowish deposits and the SD-OCT demonstrated an influence on the retinal pigment epithelium – choriocapillary complex. As shown in this study, the evaluation of the findings on SD-OCT, which allows non-invasive visualization of the pathologies involving chorioretinal tissues, may be helpful in the diagnosis of the MPGN II.
