Benign concentric annular macular dystrophy (BCAMD) is a progressive autosomal dominant macular dystrophy characterized by parafoveal hypopigmentation followed by a retinitis pigmentosa-like phenotype (nyctalopia and peripheral vision loss) with a bull's eye configuration. 4, record 1, English, - concentric%20annular%20macular%20dystrophy
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Although the macular dystrophy was initially termed "benign," a follow-up examination of the original cases revealed evidence of progression of the condition. A progressive decrease in visual acuity, nyctalopia and dyschromatopsia were found in some of the original family members with the macular dystrophy 10 years after the original description of the condition. An increase in pigmentary maculopathy and peripheral bone corpuscular changes were also observed. 5, record 1, English, - concentric%20annular%20macular%20dystrophy
