Title	Electroretinographic Findings in Patients with Posterior Microphthalmos
Abstract Nr.	P015

Purpose	To analyze electroretinographic findings in patients with posterior microphthalmos (PM).
Methods	Seventeen patients (34 eyes) with PM underwent complete ophthalmic examination and full-field flash electroretinography (ERG) according to the ISCEV standard protocol.
Results	Twelve eyes (35.3%) with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and 8 eyes (23.5%) with uveal effusion had reduced scotopic and photopic ERG amplitudes. Reduction of scotopic ERG amplitudes was of approximately 75% in the eyes with RP and 35% in 4 eyes with pseudo-RP due to uveal effusion.
Conclusion	ERG is useful in differentiating between true RP and pseudo-RP and in monitoring visual function in patients with PM.
