Benign Familial Fleck Retina

Abstract

Familial fleck retina is a rare inherited retinal disease. Sabel Aish & Dajani (1980) first reported ocular findings in seven of 10 siblings in one Arab family. It is an autosomal-recessive condition associated with a distinctive retinal appearance and no apparent visual or electrophysiological deficits . Affected individuals  are asymptomatic  with a large number of yellow−white flecks of variable size and shape in the midperipheral to far peripheral retina, but did not have any ocular complaints such as loss of visual acuity (VA), impaired visual fields and dark adaptation disturbances. Fluorescein angiograms documented an irregular and spotty hyperfluorescence throughout the retina (sparing the macula). This report discusses a case of  22 year old female of both eye Benign familial fleck retina.
