Abstract

We diagnosed an unusual case of Best's disease in a patient with multiple geographic macular and extramacular lesions. Initial confusion in the diagnosis arose because of a past history of intravenous drug abuse by the patient. The electro-oculogram was helpful in establishing the correct diagnosis.
