ABSTRACT

Cone-rod dystrophy belongs to the inherited retinal dystrophies, having different ways of transmission; it has a prevalence of 1 in 40000, ten times less than retinitis pigmentosa. Main symptoms include photophobia, decreased central visual acuity, hemeralopia, dyschromatopsia and, in advanced stages, loss of peripheral vision and night blindness. We present the case of a patient with the disease and review clinical findings and studies practiced, along with differential diagnosis.
