Inherited venous beading.
Inherited retinal venous beading is a rare autosomal disorder. We describe three affected members in three generations of a single family. It is evident that there may be gross asymmetry of affection between the two eyes, and highly variable expressivity such that the diagnosis may not be evident without a family survey. One patient had remarkable spontaneous recovery of vision.
