We report the natural history of acquired retinal oxalosis in a child with chronic renal failure. The clinical manifestations were characterized by a transient crystalline retinopathy, but stable, diffuse, flecked retina-like changes and focal hypertropic retinal pigment epithelial lesions. The pathophysiology and previous reports of retinal oxalosis are reviewed.

Late-onset retinal oxalosis in primary hyperoxaluria type 2.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, 200 Hawkins Drive, Iowa City, IA, 52242, USA.
Purpose: To report a previously undescribed case of late-onset vision loss due to retinal oxalosis in a patient with primary hyperoxaluria type 2 (PH2).
Observations: An 82-year-old female with a history of biopsy-proven oxalate nephropathy developed vision loss 8 months after end stage kidney disease. She developed progressive retinal ischemia secondary to crystal deposition.

Shiley Eye Institute, The Viterbi Family Department of Ophthalmology, UC San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA.
Purpose: To report two cases of catastrophic retinal vascular occlusion and crystalline retinopathy due to presumed oxalosis and hyperphosphatemia.
Observations: We describe two unrelated patients with end-stage kidney failure (ESKD) treated with peritoneal dialysis that developed rapid bilateral vision loss due to severe retinal vascular occlusion. Multi-modal retinal imaging studies demonstrated crystalline deposits.
