Abstract. A family with a newly detected X‐linked syndrome including sensorineural deafness, mental retardation, dystonia and blindness was examined with full‐field electroretinography in order to find out if the blindness was caused by a retinal degeneration. Six affected males and 2 obligate carriers showed no signs of retinal degeneration. One of 7 affected males had central areolar choroidal dystrophy confirmed by central scotomas in visual fields and an electroretino‐graphic pattern consisting of an attenuated amplitude as well as a prolonged implicit time of the cone b‐wave on stimulation with 30 Hz flickering white light.
