[Secotrial diabetic retinopathy in a case of partial atrophy of the optic nerve (author's transl)].
In a 35-year-old man diabetic patient with atrophy of the upper half of the right optic nerve and loss of the lower half of the visual field, no signs of diabetic retinopathy developed in the upper half of the eyeground. The diabetic retinopathy affecting the inferior half of the fundus was strictly confined to the inferior half of the eyeground; in addition the retinopathy took a more benign cours compared with the left eye showing a normal disc. After photocoagulation in the left fundus, the retinopathy improved to a grade comparable to the influence of the partial optic atrophy upon the course of the diabetic retinopathy in the right eye.
