| Description |
Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited disorder that presents as subacute asynchronous bilateral loss of vision in young adult males. While fundus changes have been described around time of conversion, no published studies include changes preceding conversion, as based on standard clinical criteria. We report the natural history of conversion of 6 patients whose funduscopic and clinical changes were recorded for more than 1 year pre- and post- conversion. |
