Abstract
This disease was probably first described under the name of sclerosis choroidea circinata by Knapp in 1907 [1]. Sorsby mentions this case in his classification of retinal and choroidal abiotrophies under the name ‘paracentral choroidal sclerosis’ [5, 6]. Krill and Archer, in 1971, mention again this disease and add a new clinical case [2, 3]. Schocket and Ballin in 1970 describe yet another case which they call circinate choroidal sclerosis [4].
