The golden tapetal sheen reflex in retinal disease.
A mother and son with dominant cone dystrophy manifested the retinal reflexes seen in Oguchi's disease (mother) and the carrier female of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (son). Another patient with cone dystrophy (simplex) showed localized areas of a golden reflex in each eye. A patient with juvenile macular dystrophy exhibited a diffuse golden-orange reflex throughout the posterior pole. The latter two patients did not have the Mizuo phenomenon.
