Purpose To observe the features of multi-focal electroretinogram (mERG) in Stargardt prime;s disease, and evaluate the validity of mE RG on diagnosis of this disease. Methods mERG had been recorded in 7 cases (14 eyes) of Stargardt prime;s disease with VERIS 4.0，and the findings were compared with normal individuals. Results The mERG were remarkably abnormal in all cases of the disease, as the amplitudes of N1 and P1 waves were seriously decreased and the latencies were prolonged in all the 6 regions (P lt;0.01). The degrees of the amplitude changes of N1, P1 waves were not the same in those areas,and the most decreased part was in fovea. The responses of N1, P1waves from the fovea of patients were about 19 and 10 percent respectively of which in controls. As the eccentricity enlarged, these differences had a tendency of reduction. The mERG topography of this disease could be divided to two types, i.e. central decreased and diffuse decreased types. Conclusion There are remarkably abnormalities on mERG in Stargardt prime;s disease,and the most damaged location of macular function is in fovea. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:271-273)
