    Description
    A 34-year-old Indian male presented with gradual progressive bilateral diminution of peripheral vision since 6 years. His best corrected visual acuity was 6/60, N36 in right eye and 6/9, N6 in left. Wide-field fundus imaging demonstrated scalloped areas of chorioretinal atrophy with well-defined margins. His plasma ornithine levels were elevated.at 203.9 nmol/ml. Based on the typical features, a diagnosis of gyrate atrophy was made.
