    Abstract:
    The authors report on a Kenyan family in which 4 of the 5 siblings were suffering from gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina with hyperornithinemia. All the affected members of the family had myopia, hemeralopia, loss of vision and constricted visual fields but no cataract. To the authors' knowledge this is the first African family with gyrate atrophy to be reported.
