Abstract:
Gyrate atrophy is rarely seen in ophthalmological practice. We diagnosed one such case in our set-up. 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. Treatment includes pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and a special diet. Prognosis usually remains poor and is a cause of disability. This case was being reported for general awareness.
