To report the resolution of subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) and changes in macular thickness at various segmentation levels a patient who was treated for vitamin A deficiency-related retinopathy.A 67-year-old man with cirrhosis secondary to hepatitis C referred unexplained vision decline nyctalopia. He diagnosed deficiency after he found have yellow-white drusen-like posterior pole midperiphery, which corresponded SDDs on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Treatment supplementation initiated, and, over course eight months, symptoms improved, resolved, retinal generally increased, although rate pattern change differed depending quadrant layer being analyzed.Vitamin should be considered patients liver disease present macula midperiphery. Prompt recognition treatment may improve reverse some pathology, including presence SDDs. Vitamin these seems affect inner retina outer differently.
