  Introduction: Hunter syndrome or mucopolysaccharidosis type II is a rare progressive multi-systemic disorder, caused by an abnormal storage of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in almost every cell type, including most ocular tissues [1,2]. Patients have a short life expectancy and ocular manifestations can be present early in the course of disease [1,2]. Purpose: To report the fundus autofluorescence and tomographic ocular findings in Hunter syndrome. Methods: A 18-year-old male patient with Hunter syndrome with progressive nyctalopia was submitted to color fundus photography, blue fundus autofluorescence (FAF), fluorescein angiography (FA) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography with enhanced-depth imaging (EDI-SD OCT). Results and discussion: Fundus examination and wide-field fluorescein angiogram revealed normal optic discs and b.. View More»
