Abstract
In three adolescents, suffering from membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis type II, ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein angiography revealed retinal pigment epithelium lesions, referred to as basal laminar drusen. The patient with the longest renal history had the most pronounced fundus changes. These lesions, earlier described in adult patients, are believed to be specific for this particular form of chronic glomerulonephritis.
