Hereditary occurrence of deep cavities in the optic nerve associated with Best's disease
Sverak J; Rencova E; Peregrin JČeska a Slovenska Oftalmologie 1999; 55: 346-349
The authors present a pedigree where, in three generations, in males deep excavations of the optic discs together with Best's disease of the centers in a variable form were recorded. The heredity is autosomal dominant. Retinal changes conditioned by defects of the pigmented epithelium reduce vision to a maximum of 6/60. The anomaly is associated with a pathological EOG record and normal ERG response. The observation is a contribution to discussions in the literature about the hereditary character of excavations of the optic nerve. LA: <#>
