Abstract

Pigmented paravenous retino-choroidal atrophy (PPRCA) is an uncommon disease characterized by peripapillary and radial zones of retinochoroidal atrophy distributed along the retinal veins with perivenous aggregations of pigment clumps in a bilateral manner. The disease aetiology is still unclear. It was earlier considered to be post-inflammatory, but recent reports of familial cases suggest hereditary nature of this condition [1]. It is also considered a variant of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and can develop RP in further course of time. We emphasize regular follow up of PPRCA patients and screening of the family member owing to its hereditary nature.
