Retina disorders Flashcards
FEVR
AD or X linked recessive
Tx: prophylactic laser (controversial), RD repair
Coats disease (Levers miliary aneurysms)
Nonhereditary
Males (10:1)
90% unilateral, 50% progressive
-Telangectatic vessels leak, large amt of subretinal lipid in OPL
-exudative RD in 66%
-subretinal and intraretinal cholesterol deposits
-FA: blood fluid levels, saccular aneurysms
Norrie’s disease
X linked recessive
- defect of retinal development
- bilateral
- retinal dysplasia, peripheral NV, hemorrhagic RD, retinal necrosis
- assoc with deafness and MR
Fundus flavimaculatus
AR
-pisciform yellow-white flecks at level of RPE
ABCA4
AKA Stargardts: most common hereditary macular dystrophy
-FA: dark choroid due to accumulation of lipofuscin in RPE
Best’s disease
AD
- 2nd most common inheritable macular dystrophy
- EOG abnormal
TIMP-3
Sorsby’s (pseudoinflammatory macular dystrophy)
Pattern dystrophies
normal ERG, abnormal EOG
- Adult vitelliform
- Sjogrens reticular: fishnet configuration
- Butterfly: gray yellow butterfly lesion
Congenital achromatopsia
Complete rod monochromatism -Chrom 14 (ACHM1); AR -20/200 vision VF: central scotoma ERG: normal scotopic, abnormal photopic
Blue cone monochromatism
X linked recessive
20/40-20/200
ERG: absent cone response, normal rod response
RP
Most AR
- photoreceptor atrophy including outer nuclear layer (inner layers preserved)
- RPE cells invade retina and surround retinal vessels
Treatable RP
Bassen-Kornzweig (abetalipoproteinemia)
Refsums (elevated phytanic acid)
Gyrate atrophy (elevated ornithine)
Leber’s congenital amaurosis
RP variant AR Blind or severe vision loss in infancy Rubs eyes ERG flat
Usher’s syndrome
AR
Most common syndrome assoc with RP
RP and deafness, ataxia, MR, low phosphate (rickets)
Refsum’s disease
AR
def of phytanic acid oxidase
Dx: increased serum copper and ceruloplasmin
Tx: phytanic acid restriction
Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome
AR Abetalipoproteinemia -inability to transport and absorb lipids -def of ADEK -Tx: vit A and E supplements
Lawrence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndrome
AR
L-M and B-B: pigmentary retinopathy, MR, hypogonadism, short
B-B: polydactyly, obesity
L-M: spastic paraplegia
Batten’s disease
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis
- Seizures, dementia, ataxia, MR
- RP
Congenital stationary night blindness
nonprogressive
- can have normal fundus or abnormal fundus (see below)
- Fundus albipunctatus (AR): normalization of scotopic ERG after 4-8hrs of dark adaptation
- Oguchi’s disease: Mizuo-Nakamura phenomenon (golden brown fundus in light adapted state, normal colored fundus in dark adapted state); absent B wave
Choroideremia
X linked recessive
Gyrate atrophy
AR
- def ornithine transferase
- Tx: restrict arginine and protein in diet, B6 supplementation
Juvenile retinoschisis
X linked recessive
- Males, bilateral, present at birth, progressive
- Cleavage at NFL
- NO leakage on FA
Goldmann-Favre
AR
- optically empty vitreous with strands and veils
- bilateral central and peripheral schisis
- EOG abn (unlike juvenile schisis)
Wagner syndrome
AD
- opticall empty vitreous
- cataract, lattice-like changes, myopia
Stickler’s syndrome
AD
- arthro-ophthalmopathy
- like Wagners with severe myopia and marfinoid habitus
Jansen syndrome
Wagner +RD
Tyrosinase negative albinism
NO pigment
Chrom 11
Tyrosinase positive albinism
some pigment
Chrom 15
less severe
Chediak-Higashi
Pancytopenia, recurrent infections, malignancies
Hermansky Pudlak
abnormal platelets, Puerto rican descent, pulmonary fibrosis, pigmentless
Aicardi’s syndrome
X linked dominant (lethal males)
- lacunar defects in RPE
- infantile spasms, severe MR, agenesis of corpus callosum
Most common color vision abnormality
Deuteranomalous
Rod monochromatism
AR
- cones absent (complete achromatopsia)
- poor vision and nystagmus
Blue cone monochromatism
X linked recessive
-nysgtagmus, decreased vision, photophobia, myopia
2ndary tumors in RB
- Osteogenic sarcoma (femur)
- Melanoma of eye or orbit
- lymphoma, leukemia, rhabdo, medulloblastoma
Diagnosis of RB
- Aqueous to plasma LDH ration >1
- US: acoustic solidity and high internal reflectivity
- MRI
What syndrome is assoc with RB?
-13q deletion syndrome: microcephaly, hypertelorism, microphthalmos, ptosis, epicanthus
What cancer can cause spontaneous hyphema in children?
Leukemia
-often affects choroid with retinal hemorrhages
