Abstract

The authors report on clinical and electrophysiological studies of a patient with Type I Oguchi's disease. Numerous small pigmentations of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) causing focal disruption of the Oguchi reflex were observed, a phenomenon which has not previously been reported. Consistent with reports of pathologic changes in the RPE, an abnormal electro-oculogram (EOG) was recorded in this patient. On the basis of this information, the pigmentations were interpreted as dysplastic changes.
