Abstract
The Grönblad-Strandberg syndrome is an inherited disease characterized by mineralization of elastic fibers in the skin, blood vessels, and the eye. Skin lesions are represented by flat xanthomatous ivory-white nodules. Eye lesions are divided into stages. In the first stage, there is angioid streak formation. In the second stage, subretinal neovascular membranes may form. If this occurs in the subfoveal area, the patient may lose central vision. The third stage is characterized by scarring.
