| Description | The author submits information on Stargard's disease, and based on a case report he mentions actual steps which led to establishment of the diagnosis of the disease. Stargard's disease is one of the forms of juvenile macular degeneration which affects the retinal pigment epithelium. It is a relatively rare hereditary, slowly progressing, usually bilateral disease leading to deterioration of vision. In the majority the heredity is autosomal recessive. The majority of ophthalmologists do not encounter the disease in their practice but it has to be taken into consideration. |
