[Ophthalmoscopic and fluorescence angiographic findings in a case of Batten's disease (author's transl)]. 1978

G Prammer, and K Widhalm

Ophthalmoscopic and fluorescence angiographic findings are an important contribution to the diagnosis of Batten's disease. The changes of retina and pigment epithelium observed in three patients are discussed. With fluorescence angiography the fundus changes of Batten's disease can be distinctly substantiated, thus facilitating the early diagnosis.
