Abstract
We present a case of fundus albipunctatus in a 61-year-old man. The patient had a 2-year history of night
blindness. Fundus examination revealed numerous yellow-white flecks throughout the midperipheral retina, sparing the
posterior pole in both eyes. The standard flash electroretinogram revealed severely decreased a- and b-waves in both
eyes. Although patients with fundus albipunctatus generally complain of night blindness from early childhood, we
emphasize that it is important to consider the possibility of fundus albipunctatus even in the elderly with a recent history
of night blindness.
