Fluorescein photography of generalized dominant fundus dystrophy.

Abstract

SORSBY, Mason, and Gardener (1949) described five families with a generalized type of fundus dystrophy which they concluded to be an autosomal dominant abiotrophy. In these families the affected members all suffered a deterioration of vision with onset in the early to mid-forties. The dystrophy was particularly characterized by massive pigmentary changes and choroidal sclerosis of the posterior pole of the eye. With the progression of the degeneration some changes were also recognized more peripherally.
