Autoimmune retinopathy other imaging findings
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Full field electroretinography (ERG) shows specific finding depending on whether rods, cones or other neural elements are affected. Delayed b-wave, reduced amplitudes of both a- and b-waves, reduced b-wave, and an electronegative ERG is seen with cancer associated retinopathy. Electroretinograms may also show abnormalities in scotopic and photopic responses.
Other Imaging Findings
Other Imaging Findings
There are no pathognomonic electrophysiological findings in autoimmune retinopathy (AIR). Â
Full field electroretinography (ERG) shows specific finding depending on whether rods, cones or other neural elements are affected.
In some patients with cancer associated retinopathy (CAR), there have been reports of delayed b-wave, reduced amplitudes of both a- and b-waves, reduced b-wave, and an electronegative ERG. [1]
Electroretinograms may also show abnormalities in scotopic and photopic responses. [2]
