Acardi Syndrome

A

rare genetic malformation syndrome characterized by the partial or complete absence of a key structure in the brain called the corpus callosum, the presence of retinal abnormalities (peripapillary retinal colobomas), and seizures in the form of infantile spasms. Aicardi syndrome is theorized to be caused by a defect on the X chromosome as it has thus far only been observed in girls or in boys with Klinefelter syndrome.

Brown’s Rx

A

Can’t adduct in upgaze
May have palpable click or audible click
May be associated with systemic inflammatory dz
No associated SO overaction

Brown’s will give you a V-pattern (eye can’t adduct in upgaze so it’s out) while IO palsy will give you an A pattern

Rx Brown’s with SO tenectomy, tenotomy, or silicone spacer

Q

Crouzon features

A

This is a craniosynostosis:

Inferior scleral show
Proptosis, globes can luxate forward
Exposure keratitis
V-pattern XT
Therefore amblyopia
Refractive error

High pressure in the head from suture closure can give you papilledema
And always look for ON pallor from the optic canal becoming narrowed

Q

Infantile vision at birth and 6 months

A

20/200-20/400 at birth

20/20 at 6 months (by VEP)

161
Q

How do you measure infantile vision

A

VEP
or preferrential looking

Preferrential looking doesn’t give you 20/20 until a couple years old (may involve more than just vision i.e. processing, motor capabilities, etc)
VEP is 20/20 by 6 months
