Congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium in Gardner's syndrome
A 20-year-old woman presented for a routine eye examination. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/25 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed in both eyes the presence of multiple egg-shaped hyperpigmented retinal lesions (at least 4), sur-rounded by a depigmented halo(figure 1, black arrows). The appearance of these lesions was suggestive of congenital hypertr...
متن کاملMultimodal Imaging of Retinal Astrocytic Hamartoma Associated with Congenital Hypertrophy of Retinal Pigment Epithelium.
Multimodal Imaging of... Klin Monatsbl Augenheilkd hamartoma or the splenic hamartoma. The exact incidence of retinal astrocytic hamartoma (RAH) is not well known, but it is estimated at one case per 100000 births per year [1]. The astrocytic hamartoma is a neuroglial tissue and produces astrocytes within the optic nerve [2], and consequently it often appears within papillary region. Congenital...
متن کاملHistochemical study of retinal photoreceptors development during pre- and postnatal period and their association with retinal pigment epithelium
Objective(s):The aim of this study was to evaluate distribution and changes of glycoconjugates of retinal photoreceptors during both pre- and postnatal development. Materials and Methods: Tissue sections from days 15 to 20 of Wistar rat embryos and 1 to 12 postnatal days of rat newborns including developing eye were prepared for lectinhistochemistry technique. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-label...
متن کاملRetinal vascular changes in congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium.
The overlying retinal blood vessels were abnormal in five cases of congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. This illustrated the well-recognized association between outer retinal degeneration and obliteration of the overlying retinal vasculature. The proposed pathophysiological mechanisms, however, seem inadequate to explain completely the morphological changes of the retinal b...
