Abstract
A family with vitreo-tapeto-retino-choroidal degeneration is presented. Five of 9 members of a sibship and their mother are affected. Retinal changes in the form of macular degeneration and peripheral preretinal membranes are the most prominent features. Other manifestations are vitreous degeneration, optic atrophy, equatorial pigmentations and complicated cataract. The heredity is probably autosomal dominant. Comparisons are made with the well-known hereditary vitreo-retinal degenerations, in particular with Wagner''s disease. The extensive macular degeneration in 2 of the patients, involving the retina, the pigment epithelium and the choriocapillaris, distinguishes the present disorder from Wagner''s disease.Keywords
