⁴Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları A.D., İzmir, Prof. Dr. A 31-year-old man presented with photophobia and markedly reduced visual acuity. In his ophthalmological examination, visual acuity was light perception in both eyes and pendular nystagmus was detected. Anterior segments were normal. In both eyes, fundus examination showed large pigmented macular colobomatous atrophy, and signs of retinitis pigmentosa like bone spicules, waxy pallor of the optic disc, and attenuated retinal vessels. FFA revealed, in both eyes, hypofluorescent areas in macular colobomatous atrophy and pigmentation like bone spicules. Hereditary macular coloboma may be associated with hereditary retinal disease like retinitis pigmentosa. Herein, a patient with bilateral macular coloboma and retinitis pigmentosa is presented.
