Abstract
Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive metabolic degeneration of the retina and choroid. The condition results from a deficiency in ornithine delta-aminotransferase (OAT); a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that requires pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. We report the case of a young patient with this rare condition.
