ASENSIO-SANCHEZ, V.M. et al. Mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II and macular degeneration. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.1, pp.43-46. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: We report a 34-year-old woman with biopsy proven type II mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCG II) who had an ophthalmic fundal appearance similar to that seen in patients with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). Discussion: All patients with MCG II should be reviewed regularly by an ophthalmologist to assess and treat any retinal complications.

Keywords : Mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II; macular degeneration; drusen; lipodystrophy; ARMD.
