CONGENITAL POSTERIOR POLAR CHORIORETINAL HYPOPLASIA: Expansion of the Clinical Spectrum, Mutation, and Its Association With PRDM13

Conclusion: The phenotype of this disease falls between the spectrum of progressive bifocal chorioretinal atrophy and NCMD. The findings are most consistent with progressive bifocal chorioretinal atrophy with the exception that there is no bifocal nature to the appearance nor is it progressive. Another view is that the phenotype seems to be an extremely severe form of NCMD. Given that this disease falls in between progressive bifocal chorioretinal atrophy and NCMD, we propose calling it congenital posterior polar chorioretinal hypoplasia.
