          Abstract

          Three male siblings, born of nonconsanguineous parents, manifested the characteristic paravenous bone spicule accumulation typically seen in pigmented paravenous chorioretinal atrophy. The wide range of fundus appearances was apparent. The electroretinogram confirmed a localized dystrophy, and an abnormal electro-oculogram in the least affected brother suggested a more widespread abnormality. The onset of the disorder in all three brothers was early in life (possibly congenital), and there was minimal, if any, progression. The mode of inheritance could not be established. Because some mildly affected individuals will be asymptomatic and have minimal fundus abnormalities, it is important to examine all family members when considering the diagnosis of pigmented paravenous chorioretinal atrophy.
