    PURPOSE: To report a case of autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 2A with novel retinal findings.

    METHODS: Case report.

    RESULTS: A 22-year-old female patient presented with a long-standing history of reduced visual acuity in her right eye. She has generalized redundant skin, downslanting of palpebral fissures, and long philtrum. Ophthalmic examination showed ptosis in her right eye and visual acuity of 20/2000 in the right eye and 20/30p in the left eye. Funduscopic examination showed a round macular scar lesion in the right eye macula and a chorioretinal scar superonasally in the left eye. Multimodal imaging showed macular atrophy in the right eye with speckled hypoautofluorescence of the described lesions. Genetic testing showed a homozygous splice acceptor variant of the ATP6V0A2 gene.

    CONCLUSION: The natural history of the presented pigmentary lesions is not known, and further follow-up is needed to assess any progressive nature. Our case adds to the variability of ophthalmic manifestations reported in autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 2A and, therefore, to the importance of regular ophthalmic surveillance in patients with cutis laxa.

    We present a rare case of Tay-Sachs disease with retinal 'cherry-red spots' in a 19-month-old Malay child. Molecular genetic studies confirmed the diagnosis. The case highlights that 'cherry-red spot' is a useful clinical clue in Tay-Sachs disease and several other lysosomal storage disorders. It serves as an ideal illustration of the eye as a window to inborn error of metabolism.
