Functional evaluation in Harada's disease. A case report.
A 21-year-old woman suffering from Harada's disease was carefully evaluated during a three year follow-up study. In the acute stage of the disease the electroretinographic changes were found to parallel the clinical course. The functional parameters indicate that the retinal involvement is localized in the layers which generate the electroretinogram. Some attempts to explain the discrepancy between the decreased positive amplitude of the electroretinogram and the normal sensory threshold findings give credence to the concept that such paradoxical behaviour can be explained by the focalized nature of the retinal involvement.
