Abstract

Pseudovitelliform macular dystrophy (PVMD) and pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) are benign diseases that can evolve to a very severe stage. It is very rare to encounter both diseases in the same patient. We report a 42-year-old patient that presented a blurry vision. The anterior and posterior segment examination found pseudovitelliform macular degeneration associated with pigment dispersion syndrome. No other case was reported in the literature. The physiopathology and the location of the two diseases are very different. Both pathologies are frequently benign. A combination of them should be considered a risk for the patient. More cases of the two diseases should be reported to the literature if found and it could maybe lead to a link between them.
