The age at onset ranged from 7 to 41 years (mean: 28.8 \u00b1 5.1 years). Vision ranged from 20\/20 to counting fingers. There were 18 (31%) patients with stage 1 with crystals and mild retinochoroidal atrophy, 22 (38%) with stage 2 with atrophy extending beyond arcades, and 18 (31%) with absent crystals and extensive atrophy of stage 3. Choroidal neovascular membrane was seen in four patients. The optical coherence tomography showed retinochoroidal thinning (84.6%), outer retinal tubulations (71.8%), and paradoxical foveal thickening with interlaminar bridges (7.7%). Electrophysiology and visual fields showed reduced responses in advanced retinochoroidal changes. Molecular confirmation was available in five patients; five mutations were seen in the\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">CYP4V2<\/jats:italic>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A wide variation is seen in the phenotypic picture of BCD.
