The association of retinitis pigmentosa with preretinal macular gliosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A retrospective study of the histopathological features of retinitis pigmentosa was undertaken. A consistent finding in 10 out of 10 eyes from 6 patients with retinitis pigmentosa was the presence of a preretinal membrane. The frequency of this finding has not been noted previously. Preretinal gliosis may well be responsible for the production of the abnormal glinting fundus reflex seen at the posterior pole in retinitis pigmentosa.

These mutations lead to a defect in keratan sulfate synthesis. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is another eye disorder with nyctalopia as its common symptom. It has been shown that more than 65 genes have been implica...

متن کاملUltrastructure of the preretinal membrane in retinitis pigmentosa.
Light and electron microscopic examination of the retina and optic nerve in patients with retinitis pigmentosa has revealed a larger of fibrous astrocytes (preretinal membrane) apposed to the inner limiting lamina of the optic nerve retina. This preretinal membrane was centered on the disc, was many cell layers thick over the optic nerve and peripapillary retina, and was tapered to a single cel...
متن کاملRetinitis Pigmentosa with Macular Dystrophy. Report of a Familial Group.
IN an earlier communication (Brit. Ji. Obhthal., Vol. XXIV, p. 469, 1940), attention was drawn to the wide range of appearances seen in macular dystrophy. It was argued that the classical conception of a limited central lesion was not borne out by the actual data. In many cases there is considerable involvement of the peripheral zones, so much so that it was pointed out that to designate these ...
