متن کاملInner retinal function in hereditary retinal dystrophies.
Hereditary retinal dystrophies are most often disorders of photoreceptors and/or the retinal pigment epithelium. Structures secondary to the photoreceptor layer such as bipolar, horizontal, amacrine and ganglion cells are secondarily involved. In later stages of the disease a mild to moderate loss of inner retina occurs, but the second and third neurons remain surprisingly viable even in late a...
متن کاملHereditary Retinal Dystrophies
The retina is a many layered structure and retinal dystrophies may affect any of the layers. From the vitreous to the choroid these are the internal limiting membrane, nerve fibre layer, ganglion cell layer, inner plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer, outer nuclear layer, external limiting membrane, rod and cone inner and outer segments and the retinal pigment epithelium ...
متن کاملRetinal dystrophies associated with peripheral retinal vasculopathy.
A pair of identical twins with cone-rod dystrophy and 1 patient with dominant retinitis pigmentosa are reported who had a peculiar vascular retinopathy characterised by perivenous accumulation of fluorescein in the temporal periphery. Other retinal dystrophies associated with leaking retinal vessels are discussed.
متن کاملTreatment strategies for retinal dystrophies.
287 Retinal dystrophies can be caused in many different ways. Typically, they result in photoreceptor degeneration and ensuing blindness. Recent years have been an exciting time for the development of treatments for retinal dystrophies, with reports of the fi rst major clinical successes. This special issue explores different strategies for treating retinal dystrophies, including gene therapy, ...
