Ocular involvement from primary hyperoxaluria developed in one infant and
one teenaged patient. Autopsy procedures in the first case used special
histopathologic staining techniques to demonstrate a wider deposition of
calcium oxalate crystals within the eye than was previously suspected.
Clinical photographs and fluorescein angiograms in the older patient
demonstrated a widespread retinal distribution of crystals with a
periarterial predilection. This patient also demonstrated a unique acquired
black macular lesion.
