Fig. 2 Central choroidal dystrophy of a less discrete form than central areolar choroidal dystrophy, showing in early stages the focal pigment epithelial and choriocapillaris defects in a male at 30 years of age (A) and the subsequent progression evident at 45 years of age (B). C. Late stage of central choroidal dystrophy showing atrophic macular choroid in a 54-year-old woman (mother of patient shown in A and B). The father of the patient shown in C was similarly affected, suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance.
