    Description
    On examination both brothers had visual acuities of 20/20 in each eye. The younger brother had a single distinct creamy-white 500 micron lesion located in the choroid temporal to the macula of the right eye. Fundus photographs of the older brother are shown. The right eye had at least five whitish lesions that appeared to be located deep to the retina. There were two lesions present superotemporal to the fovea, one immediately inferior to the fovea, one inferior to the optic nerve head, and one superonasally. In the left eye there was a single choroiditis lesion immediately nasal to the optic nerve head as well as some questionable lesions approximately one disc diameter inferior to the optic nerve head.
