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.

92
Q

What is your ddx of a dacryocystocele

A

93
Q

What is your investigation of a dacryocystocele

Opacified cornea

115
Q

Name 5 iris nodules

A
  • Brushfield spots - in Down’s - stromal hyperplasia surrounded by hypoplasia
  • Lisch nodules - NF1 - hamartomas
  • Iris nevi in ICE - heaped up iris stroma due to the endothelial membrane on top that contracts and tents up the stroma
  • Iris cysts - often from phospholine iodide use
  • JXG: yellow-orange spots. Touton on path. Bleed spontaneously.
116
Q

Hyperlysinemia
Rubella
Peter's

Use cycloplegics to flatten the lens and pull it back to relieve ACG

119
Q

Cataracts - work up for bilateral

A

Hearing tests: Alport, Rubella
Urine tests: reducing sugars (galactosemia) and amino acids (Lowe’s)
Genetics: Trisomy 13, 18, 21
Blood tests: blood sugar (DM), calcium, TORCH titres, RBC galactokinase (galactosemia)

Alport & Lowe’s are x-linked so only w/u boys

120

Cataracts - work up for unilateral

A

TORCH titres
family history
do a good eye exam (both eyes)

121
Q

Visually sig is >3 mm usually

Operate on BETTER eye first. Aim for 6-8 weeks old, then second eye 1 week later

125
Q

ROP - what is threshold dz

A

Zone I or II
Stage 3
With plus
5 continuous or 8 cumulative clock hours

126

ROP - what do you do for threshold dz and when

A

3 options:

128
Q

What did we learn from CRYO-ROP

A

Defined threshold dz

And said cryo worked

129

Said treating pre-threshold dz is also probably a good idea
Used laser (?)
130
Q

How often do you follow ROP kids and when do you stop

A

Every 1 or 2 weeks depending on the severity (it’s kind of complicated….)
Stop when zone 3 is vascularized
Or if all good at 45 weeks

A 
Cooperative nursing staff
Swaddle
Soothers

Brain MRI for pineal tumor
Metastatic workup (bone scan, LP)

A

All AD with incomplete penetrance except the Weird ones: sturge Webber and Wyburn mason are AR

  • other exception: ataxia telangiectasia is sporadic
141

None!

Unlike retinal capillary hemangiomas (VHL) or choroidal hemangiomas (SWS)

152
Q

Brown’s features vs IO palsy

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

153
Q

Epinephrine dose for anaphylaxis

A

IM: 0.3 - 0.5 mL of 1:1000

always remember ABC, call code, stop offending agent, etc

154
Q

FAS features

A

Think of it mostly as lids:

  • ptosis
  • telecanthus
  • short palpebral fissures
  • microphthalmos
  • ET
  • refractive error
  • amblyopia
  • on hypoplasia
  • ant seg dysgenesis
155
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

156
Q

What is Apert

A

Craniosynostosis. It’s Crouzon + syndactycly

157
Q

Goldenhaar - ocular and systemic features

A

Remember the whole thing is one side of the face is dysplastic. That side of body can have issues too.

Ocular:

  • limbal dermoid
  • lower lid coloboma

Ear:

  • pre-auricular skin tag
  • poor hearing

Systemic:

  • cleft lip/palate
  • vertebral anomalies
  • can have dysplastia of the organs on that side of body - heart, lung, kidneys
158
Q

Treacher Collins

A

Mandibular dysplasia

159
Q

Pierre Robin - ocular association

A

Sticklers

think “Pierre Robin & Stickler are all friends” :)

160
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
