Abstract
Two patients with vitelliform macular lesions, normal EOG [electrooculogram] Arden ratios, and no family history of Best''s vitelliform dystrophy are presented. Their findings are compared with those in 10 similar reported cases, and a common, nongenetic etiology is suggested for all. The several names given to this identical fundus picture by different authors are examined and seen to be inappropriate. A common, descriptive terminology for all such lesions is suggested.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
