Abstract

Clinical cases: Two cases of benign concentric macular dystrophy are described. In one case, ophthalmologic examination, fluorescein angiogram and visual field measurement were performed. The presence of a juxtafoveal fibrosis in the other patient, indicate that choroidal neovascularization may be associated with this type of macular dystrophy. Discussion: Benign concentric macular dystrophy is an entity with well-defined ophthalmoscopic and angiographic characteristics. Usually the prognosis is good. Rarely, choroidal neovascularization can be associated with this macular dystrophy.
