Purpose:To report Leber's hereditary optic atrophy in a mother and her son. Cases and Findings:A 49-year-old female presented with blurring in her left eye since 4 months before. Her best corrected visual acuity was 0.03 in either eye. Critical flicker frequency was 11Hz in either eye. Funduscopy failed to show characteristic features of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy(LHON). She showed point mutation of mitochondrial DNA 11778,leading to the diagnosis of LHON. Her son had been diagnosed with LHON with the same mitochondrial mutation. Conclusion:Females are rarely involved in LHON. The present cases show that LHON may involve a carrier of LHON in a female.
