Familial bilateral macular colobomata

Abstract

A mother and daugher had a life-long history of poor vision and photophobia, bilateral macular colobomata, and retinal pigment epithelial abnormalities; psychoelectrophysiological testing indicated extensive loss of cone or cone-rod function. These cases suggest this is a genetically determined condition unrelated to infection.
