Abstract

The use of full-field electroretinography (ERG) is crucial to the diagnosis and understanding of retinal dystrophies in pediatric patients. It is also important to elucidate the etiology of nystagmus in infants, ruling in or out the presence of a retinal etiology. Congenital retinal dystrophies can be categorized by their effect on rods or cones, and further by whether they are stationary or progressive. Here we describe the procedure of performing an ERG in the pediatric patient and use the aforementioned classification method to outline the characteristics of some of the retinal dystrophies, including the use of ERG in their diagnoses.
