The pattern electroretinogram (PERG) has recently been introduced as a clinical procedure. It has been thought by many to represent activity of the retinal ganglion cells, although this is still a matter of contention. The exciting prospect of a selective test of ganglion cell function led to the application of the PERG in a variety of ophthalmological conditions. In the course of these investigations the PERG was found to be diminished in cases of maculopathy, optic atrophy, optic neuritis, toxic optic neuropathy, neurotransmitter disorders, glaucoma and ocular hypertension and in retinal vascular disorders such as diabetes. It was also affected in some cases of amblyopia. This paper briefly describes the techniques used to record the PERG and reviews current literature pertaining to its clinical application.
图形视网膜电图（PERG）最近已被引入作为一种临床检查方法。许多人认为它代表视网膜神经节细胞的活动，尽管这仍然存在争议。对神经节细胞功能进行选择性检测的令人兴奋的前景促使PERG在各种眼科疾病中得到应用。在这些研究过程中，发现患有黄斑病变、视神经萎缩、视神经炎、中毒性视神经病变、神经递质紊乱、青光眼和高眼压症以及视网膜血管疾病（如糖尿病）的患者，其PERG降低。在某些弱视病例中它也受到影响。本文简要描述了记录PERG所使用的技术，并回顾了有关其临床应用的当前文献。
