    Author: Romero R, Castaño A, Moriche M, Poyales B, Granados M.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2013 Feb; 88(2):77-9. PubMed ID: 23433195.
    Abstract:
    CASE REPORT: A 65-year-old female, with poor visual acuity in right eye since childhood, was referred to our hospital. Funduscopic examination revealed bone-spicule pigmentation and choroidal and retinal pigment epithelium atrophy along the vascular arcades, with macular involvement in right eye. The patient was diagnosed with pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy (PPRCA). DISCUSSION: PPRCA is a rare disease, of unknown origin, characterised by retinochoroidal atrophy and retinal pigmentation along retinal veins, generally without macular involvement. Latest publications show a slow progression. No effective treatment is available.
