  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We diagnosed gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina in 3 siblings: 2-year-old monozygotic twins and their 8-year-old sister. All the three cases manifested fundus features characterized by well-defined, macular, shell-like and yellowish-white atrophic lesions in the peripheral fundus. ERG waves were flat. All the cases showed elevated levels of ornithine in the serum and urine, presumably secondary to ornithine ketoacid transaminase deficiency. They were treated by peroral vitamin B6 at the daily dosis of 500 mg. No significant changes in the serum level of ornithine have been observed up to 9 months of treatment.
