title: Bull's eye maculopathy with trichorhexis nodosa.
abstract: The authors report on a healthy young boy with a bull's eye maculopathy and trichorhexis nodosa. The combination, though hitherto unreported, is not unexpected because there exists an immunologic relationship between the retinal pigment epithelium and the hair bulb.
