Early fluorescein angiography revealed early hyper-fluorescence surrounding the fovea consistent with retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) depigmentation. This accentuated the contrast between the normal blockage (hypo-fluorescence) of the macular luteal pigment from the surrounding RPE window defect (hyper-fluorescence).

37 year-old man presents with nyctalopia and tunnel vision. Fundus photo reveals sparing of the fovea with accentuation of the foveal thickness compared to the surrounding atrophic retina. There is waxy pallor of the optic nerve and attenuation of the retinal vessels.

Fundus photo out side the fovea reveals predominantly depigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium with some white dots and occasional bone spicule-shaped pigment deposit peripherally.
