Five Cases of Stargardt´s Disease
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Stargardt´s disease was first described by Stargardt in 1909.
The essential features of the disease described in the original publication of Stargardt are follows: 1. A disease of autosomal recessive inheritance with onset in the first or second decade. 2. Initial loss of vision before definite eyeground changes are seen.
3. The eventual appearance of an atrophic macular degeneration with prominent yellowish flecks in the macular and/or the posterior eyegrounds. The area of degeneration becomes larger with time and the prominent flecks may disappear.
4. Essentially normal peripheral visual fields and night vision throughout life. 5. A mild loss of color vision even with fairly severe visual loss.
We have experienced five cases of Stargardt´s disease and report with a brief review of literature.
