title: [Stargardt's disease and fundus flavimaculatus].
abstract: From their sixty two personnal observations and a study of literature cases, the authors demonstrate that the ophthalmoscopic fluoroscopic and functionnal aspects of macular lesions are strictly identical in Stargardt disease and in Fundus Flavimaculatus. Their transmission is also identical, generally autosomal and recessive, more rarely dominant. Flavimaculate lesions situated in perimacular or inperipheric area may coexist in the same family, and certainly correspond to variable forms of expressivity of a unique gene. The authors discuss the nosologic problems brought by these two affections and other juvenile macular degenerations. Their conclusions are as follows: The same disease may present three different forms: -- Pure Stargardt disease; -- Stargardt disease with perimacular flavimaculate crown; -- Stargardt disease with peripheric Fundus Flavimaculatus.
