A middle-aged male presented with decreased vision FUndus showed patches of well-demarcated. scalloped atrophy of the pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris Fundus fluorescein angiography revoked sharp contrast between normal and abnormal tissue which was a typical characteristic of changes of Gyrate atrophy.
