PURPOSE: To present ocular findings in a patient who showed negative scotopic electroretinogram (ERG) and reduced ON response, but normal dark adaptation. CASE: An 18-year-old Japanese male patient who complained of severe asthenopia. His corrected visual acuities were 1.2 in both eyes. His fundi were normal. He had normal contrast sensitivity and normal dark adaptation. METHODS: The patients underwent ERG (including the standard protocol and photopic long flash recordings). RESULTS: The amplitudes of the rod ERG b-wave were reduced. The scotopic standard combined ERG response showed negative configuration. The photopic response to long flash revealed the reduced b-wave (ON response), while the amplitude of the first peak of the d-wave (OFF response) was within the normal range. CONCLUSIONS: Postsynaptic abnormalities in both the rod and cone ON-pathways, which are often found in patients with night blindness, were suggested in the ERG findings, but the dark adaptation of our patient was normal. Neuromuscular evaluation of the patient and ophthalmological evaluation, including ERG, of his parents were normal. To our knowledge, the ophthalmological and electrophysiological findings of our patient cannot be attributed to any known clinical entity.
