Abstract: 
This case report presents imaging of a 38-year-old male who was diagnosed with Benign Familial Fleck Retina (BFFR) which is an uncommon disorder. Fundus photographs revealed retinal flecks that affected his post-equatorial retina and spared the macular area. His full-field electroretinogram and electrooculogram were normal. An optical coherence tomography B-scan was performed for both of his eyes, and it revealed increased thickness of the retinal pigmented epithelium which led to multiple small pigmented epithelium detachments. The outer retina was intact in both of his eyes. Benign familial fleck retina belongs to a heterogenous group of flecked retina syndromes, and should be considered in patients with yellowish-white retinal lesions with macular sparing.
