Pigmented paravenous retinochorodial atrophy.

Three male patients had paravenous pigmented retinochoroidal atrophy. Extensive retinal function tests showed characteristic retinal pigment epithelial abnormalities on fluorescein angiography, loss of peripheral visual field, diminution of the electroretinographic b-wave, and elevated rod threshold on dark adaptometry. The disease appears to be more progressive than previously indicated, and in late stages, may cause legal blindness through involvement of the posterior pole. No treatment is known.
