Central pigmentary sheen dystrophy.
Three members from two successive generations demonstrated a bilateral, symmetric pigmentary maculopathy consisting of a diffuse yellowish sheen of the posterior pole. The visual acuity was variable (20/25 to 10/400) and visual function tests indicated a localized disorder. Historic information suggests the disorder is slowly progressive. On the basis of mode of inheritance, fundus and angiographic appearance, and visual function testing this appears to be a newly described disorder.
