| Abstract |
Sialidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder characterized by deficiency of alpha-N-acetyl neuraminidase. The macular cherry-red spot, which could be important for diagnosis, is a distinctive feature of its ocular manifestation. We evaluated the fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of a juvenile patient who presented with vision decrease and was later confirmed with genetic sialidosis. A 13-year-old Chinese male presented with bilateral decreased vision over the past 2 years before his initial visit. Funduscopic examination revealed a macular cherry-red bilateral spot. FAF showed hyperreflective areas surrounding a central hyporeflective fovea in both eyes. OCT revealed increased reflectivity in the ganglion cell layer in both maculae without a definite boundary between the hyperreflective and normal areas. These findings suggested that lipofuscin had accumulated in the retinal ganglion cells, which is a distinctive ocular feature in metabolic central nervous system (CNS) disorders. He was later confirmed with genetic sialidosis. FAF and OCT images are very sensitive and useful techniques for diagnosing lysosomal storage disease of the CNS, and are helpful in evaluating the extent of damage in retinal ganglion cells. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 March 2016.
All research outputs
#21,650,230
of 24,164,942 outputs
Outputs from BMC Ophthalmology
#2,163
of 2,605 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#262,674
of 304,661 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Ophthalmology
#14
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,164,942 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,605 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 304,661 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
