Abstract

The authors experienced the Best's Vitelliform macular dystrophy in 77 year-old female. Ophthamoscopically, there was about 1.4 D.D. sized, slightly elevated, homogeneous yellowish egg-yolk like macular lesion with well defined brown pigmented margin in the left eye. Fellow eye had senile cataract and no fundus abnormalities except for mild inferior temporal branch retinal vein occlusion. Fluorescein angiography showed blockage of fluorescence in the vitelliform lesion and revealed no leakages or hyperfluolescences on perimacular area. Bilaterally, ERG showed normal findings. EOG revealed abnormally low light pead/Dark trough ratio.
