Abstract
We report on a syndrome of progressive visual loss and leukoencephalopathy affecting several relatives. Affected individuals had evidence of retinal vasculopathy on fluorescein angiogram and periventricular white matter lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging. The clinical manifestations in this family suggest transmission of an autosomal dominant vasculopathy affecting both retinal and intracranial vessels.Keywords
