    Author: Hayasaka S, Kurome H, Noda S, Mihara M.
    Journal: Jpn J Ophthalmol; 1993; 37(4):485-9. PubMed ID: 8145394.
    Abstract:
    Two siblings with Stargardt's disease who had an initial rapid decrease in visual acuity were reported. The 8-year-old boy and his 5-year-old sister experienced a bilateral visual decrease within a period of 3 months. Their parents had a consanguineous relationship. Macular changes and blocked choroidal fluorescence were noted bilaterally in both children. Normal color vision, normal or subnormal electroretinographic findings, and subnormal electro-oculographic responses were found. Stargardt's disease should be included in the list of conditions showing rapid decrease in visual acuity.
