pubmed:abstractText
Localized macular dysfunction, in Stargardt macular dystrophy for example, is frequently not detected by Ganzfeld electroretinography (ERG) but it may be detected by methods such as focal macular electroretinogram and pattern electroretinogram at the posterior pole of the eye or indirectly by recording of the visual evoked cortical potentials (VEP). The multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) is a new diagnostic tool allowing analysis of local bioelectrical signals of circumscript areas across the macular region. Miyake recently described a type of macular dystrophy, which he termed "Occult Macular Dystrophy" (OMD) because of a normal fundus aspect and functional deficit even in aged patients. This is a case report about a family with a presumed OMD where mfERG demonstrated a central depression in the affected family members.
