Abstract
A 7-year-old Japanese girl displayed multiple, variably sized, sharply circumscribed, placoid, white lesions in
both eyes, with no additional symptoms. The appearance of these lesions was consistent with congenital grouped
albinotic spots of the retina. Fundus autofluorescence imaging showed clearly-defined abnormal autofluorescence,
corresponding to these albinotic spots. The outer retinal layer and the photoreceptor inner/outer segment junctions were
observed to be irregular and discontinued corresponding to some albinotic spots, by optical coherence tomography.
Multifocal electroretinograms of both eyes displayed decreased amplitudes. Therefore, we have described a case of
congenital grouped albinotic spots in the eyes with functional deterioration.
