“…The condition was thought to resemble ophthalmomyiasis interna (OMI), which results from the parasitic activity of an intraocular botfly larva. 1 , 2 Retinopathy was found in 53% (38 of 72) of Guamanians with ALS/PDC and 16% (85 of 531) of those who were neurologically normal at the time of examination; these findings were later independently confirmed. 3 6 Described by North American investigators as “Guam Linear Retinal Pigment Epitheliopathy (LRPE)”, the 50–200 micrometer-wide tracks occurred in one or both eyes [ Figure 1 , left], remained unchanged over observation periods of up to 24 years, were statistically associated with ALS/PDC and observed to precede the onset of clinical neurological disease by 1–19 years.…”

“…Der starke Visusverlust unseres Patienten ist nicht notwendigerweise durch das Vorhandensein von subretinalen Gängen (subretinal tracks) zu erklàren. Mehrere Fälle von intaktem Visus, ja von volliger Beschwerdefreiheit beim Vorhandensein der typischen Netzhautveränderungen sind beschrieben worden (6,7,8,16,17). Subretinale gangartige Depigrnentierungen gelten, zumal sie nur einseitig vorkornmen sollen, auch ohne Nachweis einer Larve als pathognomonisch für Ophthalrnomyiasis interna posterior (6,7,8,11).…”

Die Schãdigung der Netzhaut rnu1 als toxisch oder mechanisch angesehen werden, da keine entzündliche Fehlen einer charakteristischen Anamnese, nicht selten Symptornlosigkeit des Patienten und variables klinisches Erscheinungsbild lassen verrnuten, dat?…”
