Long-term follow-up of a Tay-Sachs disease patient with cherry-red spot

This report highlights progressive retinal degeneration with optic atrophy, retinal thinning, and reduction in cherry-red spots. The flat ERG waveform in this patient suggests more advanced retinal involvement than in previous reports and provides insights into the ocular manifestations of Tay-Sachs disease.

Abstract

This report highlights progressive retinal degeneration with optic atrophy, retinal thinning, and reduction in cherry-red spots. The flat ERG waveform in this patient suggests more advanced retinal involvement than in previous reports and provides insights into the ocular manifestations of Tay-Sachs disease.
