OBJECTIVE: Bietti crystalline dystrophy is a rare form of tapetoretinal degeneration associated with retinal crystalline deposits. However, Bietti crystalline dystrophy is extremely unusually associated with macular hole formation. A 32-year-old man with Bietti crystalline dystrophy and bilateral macular holes is described. DESIGN: Case report and literature review. RESULTS: Clinical and angiographic features, optical coherence tomography results, electroretinographic findings, and visual evoked potentials are reported. CONCLUSION: Bietti crystalline dystrophy can occur with bilateral macular holes, but the cause is unclear.
