1Uzm.Dr., Ank.Numune Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, 3. Göz Kliniği, Uzman Dr.2Dr., Ank. Numune Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, 3 Göz Kliniği, Şef The lesions in macular coloboma are seen as sharply demarcated areas of retina pigment epithelial and choroidal atrophy. There may be pigmentation at the edge of the lesion, and a few large choroidal vessels may cross sclera at the base of the lesion. We report a case of unilateral macular coloboma associated with chronic renal failure. We suggest that this may be a different presentation of oculorenal syndrome, considering other entities in the differential diagnosis. Keywords : Oculorenal syndrome, macular coloboma, renal failure.
