متن کاملRetinal pathology in the Kearns-Sayre syndrome.
Examination of the retinal tissues obtained at necropsy from a 14-year-old boy with Kearns-Sayre syndrome showed marked photoreceptor and pigment epithelial cell loss in the retinal periphery and around the optic nerve head. Electron microscopy of surviving retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells indicated a loss of apical microvilli and basal infoldings. The RPE was unusually devoid of melanoso...
متن کاملMR of Kearns-Sayre Syndrome
A 6-year-old boy was first evaluated because of short stature and hypocalcemia. His mother's pregnancy and delivery had been normal. Growth failure became progressively obvious; it was quantified at -3.5 standard deviations when the patient was 6 months old. Within 2 years, his developmental milestones declined, necessitating special education. When he was 5 years old, carpopedal spasm began; t...
