Progressive bifocal chorioretinal atrophy

Summary

Progressive bifocal chorioretinal atrophy (PBCRA) is a rare, autosomal dominant congenital chorioretinal dystrophy. The disorder is characterized by progressive macular and nasal retinal atrophic lesions, nystagmus, myopia, and poor vision. Invariably, there are 2 distinct foci of atrophy, a temporal focus that is present at birth and a nasal focus that appears early in life. Retinal detachment is an additional complication of the disease (Douglas et al., 1968; Kelsell et al., 1995). [from OMIM]
