Retinal pattern dystrophies are a slowly progressive heterogeneous group of primarily autosomal dominantly inherited macular diseases whose unifying element involves the deposition of pigment in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of the macula. Although findings are classically and most often centered in the macula, pigment deposition may also occur in the periphery. Depending on the distribution pattern, these pattern dystrophies can be separated into major categories or types. These include reticular dystrophy, fundus pulverulentus, butterfly-shaped pigment dystrophy, adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy, and multifocal pattern dystrophy simulating Stargardt disease. 2, record 1, English, - pattern%20dystrophy

Sjögren reticular dystrophy is an exceedingly rare condition ... with both autosomal recessive and dominant modes of inheritance. A bilateral and symmetric reticular pattern of RPE [retinal pigment epithelium] clumping, hyperplasia, and associated atrophic degenerative changes is noted that may or may not be associated with a slight decrease in central vision. In the initial stages, pigment granules accumulate at the site of the fovea with a network that resembles a "fishnet with knots." The midperiphery and periphery may be spared, but in some cases this may be the principal area of involvement. ... The reticular changes probably appear in infancy and are often fully developed by 15 years of age. 3, record 3, English, - Sj%C3%B6gren%27s%20reticular%20dystrophy
