    Abstract:
    In the last years the relationship between congenital hypertrophy of retinal pigment epithelium (CHPRE) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) has been described. It has been said that ophthalmoscopy would be a good screening method for following up the relatives of patients with FAP. We present an ophthalmoscopic study of 14 member of a family with FAP. Four members with FAP were operated on in our department. Only a six years-old child, to this date without FAP, presented CHPRE. We review the relationship between FAP and CHPRE, and emphasize the importance of follow-up in FAP specially when CHPRE is present.
