We describe two patients with gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina who suffered from vitreous hemorrhages in adolescence. The diagnosis of gyrate atrophy was confirmed biochemically and clinically; hyperornithinemia and a deficiency of ornithine ketoacid transaminase were confirmed biochemically. Typical fundus changes of scalloped chorioretinal atrophies with sharp margins, deteriorated dark adaptation, non-recordable electroretinogram, flat electrooculogram, and constricted visual fields were noted. We believe that the vitreous hemorrhage is an ocular complication in this disorder.
