[Electro-ophthalmological observations on the course of unilateral tapetoretinal degenerations (author's transl)]

A 32-year-old female patient suffering from a unilateral tapetoretinal degeneration for at least 7 years was investigated. The affected eye exhibits a typical fundus, concentric reduction of visual field, and a monophasic course of dark adaptation. The electroretinogram of the affected eye is extinguished; the electrooculogram does not show a light peak. The visual evoked cortical potential of both eyes shows a normal amplitude-stimulus intensity function. However, the first negative deflection exhibits a small difference of implicit time between the normal and affected eye. The normal eye does not show any pathological alteration.
