Multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) provides functional and objective evidence of retinal dysfunction. We have found mfERG to be especially useful in the management of occult outer retinopathy and Stargardt's disease.

Electroretinography (ERG) is a non-invasive technique for evaluating the retinal function in various ocular diseases. Its results are useful for diagnosing ocular disorders and assessing disease progression or treatment effectiveness. Since numerous studies are based on animal models, validating the ERG results from animals is pivotal.

The aim of this study is to describe genotype and phenotype of patients with bestrophinopathy. The case records were reviewed retrospectively, findings of multimodal imaging such as color fundus photograph, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus autofluorescence, electrophysiological, and genetic tests were noted. Twelve eyes of six patients from distinct Indian families with molecular diagnosis were enrolled.

Although hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is used to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), it is associated with retinal toxicity. Early diagnosis can prevent the further progression of HCQ-associated retinopathy by discontinuing HCQ treatments. This study aimed to evaluate the early diagnostic parameters in patients with SLE treated with HCQ and identify the best approach using multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) to reflect subclinical retinal toxicity.

Article Synopsis
  • A 25-year-old man diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) showed distinct posterior segment abnormalities during examination, including bone spicule pigmentation and retinal atrophy.
  • Findings from advanced imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed unique wavy protrusions on the inner retinal surface, leading to non-cystic petaloid maculopathy and changes in choroidal thickness.
  • The patient's condition not only highlighted the retinal involvement linked to a genetic variant but also raised concerns about potential syndromic associations, including a major depressive disorder requiring hospitalization.
