          Abstract

          Purpose: To introduce the scanning laser ophthalmoscope-evoked mfERG (SLO-mfERG) as a new method to measure focal retinal function. Methods: Sixty-two healthy individuals and 12 patients with Best’s disease were examined. mfERGs were recorded using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope as a stimulator and trigger device (He-Neon 632.8 nm) as well as a fundus-monitoring system (Infrared 730 nm). Results: Amplitudes in the central concentric area were found to be significantly lower in patients with Best’s disease than in healthy controls, while no significant differences were found for the more peripheral areas. Conclusion: SLO-mfERG is a reliable new technique for topographic mapping of retinal function under simultaneous control of fixation.

          Mapping of retinal function in Best macular dystrophy using multifocal electroretinography.

          Hendrik Scholl, Andreas Schuster, Reinhard Vonthein … (2002)
          In order to evaluate the function of the retina in Best macular dystrophy (BMD) 18 patients were examined by means of the multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG). The mfERG peak amplitudes of the central and pericentral responses were significantly reduced in the BMD patients (p<0.001). The ERG amplitude decrease of the central response was significantly correlated with visual acuity loss and with the funduscopic staging. The implicit times in more eccentric groups were slightly but significantly increased. The markedly reduced mfERG amplitudes with only slightly increased implicit times may indicate cone photoreceptor cell loss or damage to the cone outer segments.
