34years pregnant female came with complaints of defective vision for two years and had two previous abortions at 12 weeks and 15 weeks. All investigations were done to find cause of abortions and were normal. On examination vision was reduced and fundus examination showed features of gyrate atrophy and confirmed by electroretinogram and serum ornithine levels. Gyrate atrophy is a rare genetic disorder characterized by chroioretinal atrophy. We advised genetic counseling for the patient. This case is presented as gyrate atrophy is rare in pregnancy and it may be associated with previous abortions. So fundus examination by an ophthalmologist was found to be important in finding out cause of abortion and this rare genetic condition.
