Abstract
The case of a 22 yr old white female who presented for a routine ocular examination and displayed Best''s disease in her right eye and butterfly-shaped macular dystrophy in her left eye. These diagnoses were confirmed by fluorescein angiography, EOG [electrooculogram] and ERG [electroretinogram]. The fact that these 2 disorders are present in 1 person suggests that they are different manifestations of the same underlying disease process.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
