Background: The guidelines of the National Deaf Children's Society recommend that children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) be routinely screened for ophthalmological problems and suggest electroretinography (ERG) to exclude Usher syndrome. The present study reports the nature and prevalence of abnormal ERG findings in a cohort of children with SNHL undergoing ERG with the aim of identifying risk factors for the diagnosis of Usher syndrome.
Methods: The medical records of children (<18 years of age) with SNHL referred for ERG at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, between January 2009 and December 2011 were retrospectively reviewed.
