Ocular findings in a case of haemoglobin H disease.

T K Daneshmend
PMCID: PMC1043640  PMID: 526466

Abstract

A case is reported of a patient with known haemoglobin H disease who was found to have angioid streaks and retinal detachment. Angioid streaks have not previously been reported in cases of alpha-thalassaemia, and the question whether this is a chance association or otherwise is discussed.
