The association of microcephaly and mental retardation with a non-pigmentary retinopathy is described in three siblings of consanguineous parents. The electroretinogram showed the distinctive appearance of markedly attenuated "b" wave but normal "a" wave suggestive of a retinal dystrophy primarily affecting post-receptoral elements in the inner retina. This appears to be an autosomal recessive condition which has not been previously reported.
