Norrie's disease is an X-linked disease presenting bilateral blindness at birth or during the first few months of life. A white retrolental membrane is seen initially, later the eyes usually become phthisic. Dementia or psychosis appears in about 25% and sensory hearing loss present in 1/5 or 1/4 of the blind males. Carriers are clinically unaffected. The main differential diagnoses comprise retinoblastoma, retrolental fibroplasia, toxoplasmosis, falciform detachment, juvenile retinoschisis, sex-linked microphthalmia, sex-linked cataract and congenital retinal detachment.
