post midterm week 1 Flashcards
what characterizes distrophies?
hereditary/genetic
bilateral
symmetric
macular distrophies are classified based on what
mode of transmission
age of onset
central vs peripheral
cone vs rod
symptoms
diagnostic testing
histology
what are the risk factors associated with macular distrophies
family history / genetics
electro retinopathy (ERG) represents the activity of what
photo receptors and bipolar region
electro oculography reflects the activity of what
RPE and the photoreceptors (diffuse or wide spread disease of the RPE is needed to affect the EOG response significantly)
what does hyper fluorescence vs hypo represent on fundus photography
hyper = increased metabolic activity which = injeopardy/abnormal hypo = dead
what is the treatment for distrophies
just supportive really.
what is the inheritance pattern for progressive cone distrophy / cone rod distrophy
sproadic can be ad ar or xl
when does cone rod distrophy present
presents in 1st to 3rd decade
what can you see clinically with progressive cone distrophy and what is the VA
photophobia and nystagmus in late stage
end stage = 20/200 vision
in congenital monochromatism or complete rod chromatism what is the inheritance pattern
AR
in congenital monochromatism or complete rod chromatism what is the visual acuity and other clinical signs.
is ERG or EOG affected?
VA = 20/200 (because this is best acuity with rods) macula usually appears normal congenital nystagmus and photophobia ERG phototopic abnormal. color vision totally absent
what is the inheritance pattern in congenital monochromatism or incomplete rod chromatism
AR or XL
what is the inheritance pattern in congenital monochromatism or incomplete rod chromatism.
what is VA. what other clinical signs
VA is 20/40 - 20/80 macula is normal nystagmus and photophobia may be present ERG photopic abnormal some color vision may be present
what is cone monochromatism? (what is the inheritance, what is VA, what do you see clinically)
inheritance is uncertain. VA is normal 20/20 -20/30 macula normal nystagmus and photophobia absent ERG and color vision are normal
what is dominant cystoid maculaEdema(inheritance, when does it start, etc.)
inheritance is AD
presents in first to second decade
with gradual impairment of central vision
DOES NOT respond to systemic acetazolamide
what do you see on EOG, ERG, FA
and what is the prognosis of dominant cystoid maculaedema
ERG, EOG are normal
FA = flower pedal pattern of leakage at the fovia
prognosis is poor due to risk of geographic attrophy
what is stargardt disease (inheritance, presentation)
inheritance = AR
presents in 1st to 2nd decade
vision impairment may be out of proportion to macular changes
what other signs of the fovia might you see with stargardt disease
normal or nonspecific modeling.
oval snail slime or beaten bronze fovial appearance. may be surrounded by yellow white flecks. may be geographic atrophy. maybe bullseye.
what do diagnostic tests reveal with stargardt disease
ERG is normal
EOG is abnormal in advanced cases
Colorvision defects
FA = dark cortoid due to lipofuscin deposits in the RPE
maybe window defect at macula due to geographic atrophy
