| Description |
Melanoma associated retinopathy is a paraneoplastic processes involving auto-antibodies against normal retinal tissues, specifically the bipolar cell layer. This adversely affects rod systems as neuroretinal transmission from the photoreceptors through the inner retina is disrupted. This yields a characteristic electronegative ERG pattern helpful in diagnosis of this life-threatening disease. |
