Right (A) and left (B), retinal fundus images showing rarefaction of the
retinal pigment epithelium, but no signs of retinal vasculitis or lesions that
could be indicative of syphilitic uveitis. 173 x 75 mm (150 x 150 DPI).

The fundoscopy showed a diffuse rarefaction of the retinal pigment epithelium, compatible with high myopia (Fig. 1).
Electroretinogram (left eye, scotopic) before medical treatment (A),
showing impairment of inner retinal layers, potentially attributed to retinal
ischemia (B). Electroretinogram (left eye, scotopic) 12 months after medical
treatment, showing an augmented B wave amplitude, suggesting improvement of
retinal function. 187 x 114 mm (96 x 96 DPI).

Electroretinography showed signs of ischemia, especially in the internal retina (Fig. 2A). Four months after treatment, there was a partial improvement of the electroretinographic parameters (Fig. 2B), and in her last evaluation performed 6 months after treatment, she was asymptomatic, with a visual acuity of 20/40 in her right eye and 20/30 in her left eye.
