Abstract:
Two cases of Retinitis Punctata Albescens are presented. One case occurred in two successive generations without a history of consanguity and is suspected strongly a dominant form of heredity which has been reported for tbe first time in Korea, and is probably a progressive type for its clinical signs and symptoms. The other case is stationary type of albipunctate dystrophy and is inherited in usual recessive form of heredity. In both cases, there were fundus changes characterized by a powdering with white discrete dots beneath the retinal vessels, raised threshold in dark adaptation and other typical signs.
