title: Progressive zonal outer retinitis.
abstract: A 27-year-old woman with uniocular progressive zonal outer retinitis was examined. The retinitis area was curvilinear and gray, with zonal opacification. It enlarged centrifugally and concentrically, with narrowing of the zonal opacification. Results of perimetry and electroretinography showed that the outer retina was primarily affected. Damage was more severe in the photoreceptor cones than in the rods. Peripheral retinal phlebitis was seen on fluorescein angiography. Intraretinal pigment migration with retinal pigment epithelial atrophy occurred in the macula as sequelae.
