This is a rare syndrome consisting of a pigmentary degeneration of the retina in association with nanophthalmos. The globe is small with a thickened choroid and sclera and the macula becomes atrophic later in life. Some patients have cystic macular changes early without fluorescein leakage. The anterior chamber is shallow, the angle is narrow, and the cornea may be small leading to angle closure glaucoma in most patients
