Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia associated with a pigmentary retinopathy and heart block was described by Kearns & Sayre in 1958. They suggested that the triad represented a syndrome. The cases recorded since then are reviewed and summarised, and several common features are noted. Little attention has previously been paid to the retinopathy. A similar case is presented, and the pigment changes, retinal function, annd fluorescein angiography are examined. There is no clinical evidence for the diagnosis of classical retinitis pigmentosa. The prognosis and aetiology of the condition are discussed.
1958年，卡恩斯和塞尔描述了伴有色素性视网膜病变和心脏传导阻滞的慢性进行性眼外肌麻痹。他们认为这三联征代表一种综合征。对此后记录的病例进行了回顾和总结，并指出了几个共同特征。此前对视网膜病变关注甚少。现报告一例类似病例，并对色素变化、视网膜功能和荧光素血管造影进行了检查。没有临床证据支持诊断为典型的色素性视网膜炎。对该疾病的预后和病因进行了讨论。
