Butterfly-like pattern dystrophy and unilateral choroidal neovascularization

Purpose: To report a case with butterfly-like pattern dystrophy and unilateral subretinal neovascular membrane. Results: We examined a 62-year-old woman with occult subretinal neovascular membrane in the right eye and butterfly-like yellowish figure in the retina confined to the posterior pole in the left eye. Electro-oculogram nas subnormal bilaterally. Her 32-year-old daughter also had hypopigmented bilateral macular changes with subnormal electro-oculogram. Conclusion: This case demonstrates a rare complication of subretinal neovascular membrane formation in butterfly-like pattern dystrophy.
