Abstract
A 6-year-old male Boxer dog was presented with a history of acute blin dness. Direct and consensual papillary light reflexes were reduced. Th e fundus of both eyes appeared normal during ophthalmoscopic examinati on. Further diagnostic investigations included magnetic resonance imag ing of the brain and electroretinography. Magnetic resonances imaging of the brain was normal, but the electroretinogram was extinguished. A diagnosis of sudden acquired retinal degeneration was made.
