(1) HISTORICAL.-In the fully-developed state, choroideremia presents a characteristic and unmistakable picture of which Fig. 1 and Colour Plate 1(a and b) may be taken as examples. The almost total lack of choroidal vessels strongly suggests a developmental anomaly. In fact most of the early writers on, the subject, such as Mauthner (1872) and Koenig (1874), stressed the likeness to choroidal c...
