Overall, 84% of CHRPE lesions were located in the retinal periphery compared to 16% within the posterior pole. Tourino et al described the most common location for CHRPE amongst FAP individuals was in the retinal equator. 9 92% of FAP individuals had CHRPE present proximal to the retinal vessels compared to 7% in controls (p < 0.001). 9.

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a pigmented layer of the retina which can be thicker than normal at birth (congenital) or may thicken later in life. Areas of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) hypertrophy usually do not cause symptoms. They are typically found during routine eye examinations.

These groupings of round spots of various sizes can resemble paw prints so they are also called Bear Track Pigment. Patients with multiple or irregularly shaped CHRPE are the ones most likely to have FAP and are the ones we educate about the importance of preventive colon health care.

The differential diagnosis for multiple hyperpigmented lesions in the fundus includes choroidal nevi, RPE hyperplasia secondary to previous trauma or inflammation, pigmented lattice degeneration, congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE), multifocal CHRPE ("bear tracks"), malignant melanoma of the choroid, and RPE hamartom.

The retina is an ocular structure responsible for gathering gross visual stimuli that enter the eye and transforming them into neuronal signals transported to the brain for interpretation. Truly, it comprises two distinct entities that work in concert with each other: the neural retina and the retinal pigmented epithelium.

"Bear Tracks" CHRPE Benign pigmented fundus lesions that commonly discovered during routine eye examination. Clinical Features Usually asymptomatic. Signs: Well-demarcated, round, solitary or multiple gray-brown or black lesions which have flat or scalloped margins. May be encircled by hyper- or hypo-pigmented halo.

"bear tracks" are often seen by ophthalmologists and do not indicate a greater risk of developing intestinal cancer (1). In contrast, pigmented retinal lesions seen in FAP are multifocal, bilateral (in 86% cases) with an irregular border and a tail of depigmentation on one margin; these

Gardner syndrome is a rare phenotypic variant of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Both Gardner syndrome and FAP are characterized by the numerous adenomatous polyps lining the intestinal mucosal surface. [1] However, Gardner syndrome has characteristic polyps in the colon and osteomas that help distinguish the disease from FAP. [2]

Congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE) is a generally asymptomatic congenital hamartoma of the retina. Typical (solitary and grouped) and atypical variant forms are described. Atypical CHRPE is associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).

Grouped congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium is a conspicuous ocular anomaly wherein highly pigmented, demarcated but flat retinal lesions arise from the retinal pigment epithelium. These lesions ("bear tracks") typically increase in size as they approach the retinal periphery. The discovery of pigmentary lesions in a young infant with a poor red reflex warrants urgent.

Grouped congenital albinotic spots of the retinal pigment epithelium ('polar bear tracks') A variant of CGP-RPE is congenital albinotic spots of the RPE (CASRPE), also known as 'polar bear tracks'. This condition is characterised by well-circumscribed, chalky white lesions of the same size, shape and distribution as CGP-RPE (Fig. 3a, c)
