Abstract
Three members of a family with central areolar choroidal dystrophy showed the early and late stages of this disorder. The youngest affected was a 12-year-old girl who exhibited decreased vision, a red-green dyschromatopsia, and mild granularity of the macula with a diffuse foveal reflex. A discrete focal loss of choriocapillaris in the macula was seen on fluorescein angiography. This indicates that choriocapillaris atrophy is an early finding in this disease.Entities:
