چکیده

L'albinisme regroupe un ensemble d'affections héréditaires liées à une anomalie de biosynthèse de la mélanine secondaire à un déficit variable en tyrosinase, enzyme impliquée dans la synthèse de ce pigment. La mélanine est élaborée dans des cellules spécialisées de la peau, des cheveux, de l'épithélium pigmenté de la rétine et au niveau de l'iris. L'examen à la lampe à fente d'un sujet albinos permet de mettre en évidence des signes caractéristiques de cette affection, notamment la transillumination irienne. Celle-ci est en rapport avec le déficit en mélanine du stroma et de l'épithélium postérieur de l'iris qui ne constituent plus une barrière pour la lumière réfléchie par la rétine. De ce fait les fibres zonulaires et l'équateur du cristallin peuvent être visibles. Figure 1 : aspect dépigmenté de l’iris avec une transillumination irienne permettant de voir l’équateur du cristallin en temporal au niveau des deux yeux (flèches bleues) au cours d’un albinisme oculocutané

Moxifloxacin and bilateral acute iris transillumination

Recent publications have alerted clinicians to a syndrome of uveitic transilluminating iris depigmentation associated with systemic fluoroquinolones and other antibiotics. Bilateral acute iris transillumination, which is associated with loss of the iris pigment epithelium and results in iris transillumination, differs from the previously described bilateral acute depigmentation of the iris, whi...

Iris stromal imbrication oversewing for pigment epithelial defects.

We present a novel iris repair technique for the management of iris transillumination defects secondary to iris pigment epithelium (IPE) loss, which includes iris oversewing over the defect through partial iris stromal bites with 10-0 polypropylene. This technique provides a healthy layer of iris covering the transillumination defect without the creation of new defects on the contiguous IPE.

Bilateral acute iris transillumination (BAIT) initially misdiagnosed as acute iridocyclitis.

Bilateral acute iris transillumination (BAIT) is a relatively new clinical entity characterized by bilateral acute loss of iris pigment epithelium, iris transillumination, pigment dispersion in the anterior chamber, and sphincter paralysis. We report the case of a 30-year-old male who was initially diagnosed with acute iridocyclitis in a different clinic and treated with topical and systemic co...

Iris transillumination defects in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.

PURPOSE To examine the incidence and pattern of iris transillumination defects in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with and without vascular dysregulation, in comparison to controls. METHODS We prospectively examined 24 patients with POAG (M/F 10:14; mean age 59 +/- 14, range 21-76 years) and 23 controls (M/F 10:13; mean age 52 +/- 15, range 25-86 years). Vascular dysregulatio...

Infra-red transillumination stereophotography of the iris in Fuchs's heterochromic cyclitis.

The structural pattern of the iris in 13 patients with Fuchs's heterochromic cyclitis (FHC) was studied by infra-red transillumination stereophotography. All eyes with FHC showed atrophic changes of the iris. Extensive iris atrophy appeared as light, even translucence of the iris, associated in some cases with occasional dense small patches or pigment clumps. Moderate punctate, patchy or radiat...
