| Description |
Riley Day syndrome, or familial dysautonomia, has rarely been shown to be associated with optic atrophy. Recently we have evaluated a group of patients with this condition and have found evidence of maculopapillary optic nerve damage in all of them. One of these patients died and his eyes were available at autopsy. |
