Relationship between visual field defect and multifocal electroretinogram.

چکیده
We investigated the effect of artificial parafoveal scotomata on the multifocal electroretinogram (M-ERG). M-ERGs were recorded from normal subjects using a monitor with several different sizes of black paper attached. A lower response density area around the 10 to 15 degree parafoveal region was not recognized for scotomata up to 3 degrees but was observed in scotomata above 5 degrees (visual angle) in the field topography of M-ERG. The shape of the scotomata was not circular but somewhat oval. The results from two cases of parafoveal retinal degeneration accorded well with this basic study.

Our aim is to review the literature of the use of t...
متن کاملThe multifocal pattern electroretinogram in chloroquine retinopathy.
PURPOSE Optimal screening for ocular toxicity caused by chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine is still controversial. With the multifocal pattern electroretinogram (mfPERG), a new electrophysiological technique has recently become available to detect early changes of ganglion cells. In this study this new technique is applied to a series of 10 patients seen consecutively receiving long-term chloro...
