[X-linked night-blindness: clinical and electrophysiological investigations including de-ERG in two families (author's transl)].
Patients from two families with X-linked recessive nyctalopia and myopia were investigated. The functional tests included clinical examinations (visual acuity, color sense, visual fields, dark adaptation) and electrophysiological examinations (ac coupled ERG, dc-coupled ERG, EOG). The dc-coupled ERG registrations were done without general anesthesia. In one case, a comparison with results obtained in 1967 was possible. There was no evidence of increase in functional impairment. On the basis of the electrophysiological results, the nature and localization of the defect causing nyctalopia are discussed. The postreceptoral retinal structures appear not to be involved exclusively.
