  • Title: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence characteristics in patients with fundus albipunctatus and retinitis punctata albescens.
    Author: Genead MA, Fishman GA, Lindeman M.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Genet; 2010 Jun; 31(2):66-72. PubMed ID: 20450307.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: Fundus albipunctatus is a form of congenital stationary night blindness characterized by an early onset and nonprogressive impairment of night vision and the presence of numerous dull-white punctate lesions scattered throughout the fundus, while retinitis punctata albescens patients often show similar fundus changes but manifest a severe and progressive hereditary retinal dystrophy. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we report the optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence measurements in patients with these hereditary night blinding diseases.
