title: [Hereditary occurrence of deep cavities in the optic nerve associated with Best's disease].
abstract: The authors present a pedigree where in three generations in male members deep excavations of the optic discs along with Best's disease of the centres in a variable form were recorded. The heredity is autosomal dominant. Retinal changes conditioned by defects of the pigmented epithelium reduce vision to a maximum of 6/60. The anomaly is associated with a pathological EOG record and normal ERG response. The observation is a contribution to discussions in the literature about the hereditary character of excavations of the optic nerve.
