Full-Field Electroretinography, Pupillometry, and Luminance Thresholds in X-Linked Retinoschisis

X-linked Hereditary Retinoschisis.

AN X-linked degenerative retino-choroidal disease, hereditary retinoschisis, has been identified in the last 10 years. In milder cases the disease takes the form of radial macular degeneration, but in severe cases a grey sheet-like veil is attached to the detachment in the retinal vasculature, especially in the lower temporal quadrant. In differential diagnosis, according to Ricci (1960), a dom...

Phenotypic characterization of X-linked retinoschisis: Clinical, electroretinography, and optical coherence tomography variables

AIMS To study the phenotypic characteristics of X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) and report the clinical, electroretinogram (ERG), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) variables in Indian eyes. DESIGN A retrospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of 21 patients with retinoschisis who were genetically confirmed to have RS1 mutation were reviewed. The phenotype characterization ...

Full-Field versus Multifocal Electroretinography

Full field electroretinography (ffERG) or conventional electroretinography represents the summed electrical response of the entire retina evoked by a flash light from an arc bowl (Ganzfeld stimulus bow) scattered in the eye through a dilated pupil. Clinical applications of ffERG were initiated in the 1940s, therefore clinical and basic studies on ERG date back to several decades. In 1989, the I...
