  • Title: A variant of central areolar choroidal dystrophy.
    Author: Chopdar A.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Paediatr Genet; 1993 Dec; 14(4):151-64. PubMed ID: 8015786.
    Abstract:
    This article describes the variable ophthalmoscopic features of a macular disorder in five generations of one family. This disease shares similarities with central areolar choroidal dystrophy and other progressive dominant macular dystrophies but demonstrates significant differences that required further consideration. The milder affected individuals had confluent hyperfluorescence around the macular area while the more severe lesions consisted of marked chorioretinal atrophy of the macula. The visual fields revealed a central scotoma. The disorder was transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait.
