Central Areolar Choroidal Dystrophy

SCRA

Generalized photoreceptor dysfunction was present in the oldest patient and manifested by delayed electroretinographic implicit timing. Age-related generalized photoreceptor abnormality is hypothesized in CACD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Additional signs of macular degeneration should also be present. [kellogg.umich.edu]

  • Flexion Contracture

    Note the disproportionate dwarfism, bowing of the legs, prominence of the buttocks, moderate lordosis. prominence of the ends of the long bones, and flexion contractures of the joints. 58 Ophthalmic Genet Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by University [docslide.com.br]

  • Osteoporosis

    There was dif- fuse osteoporosis with short and anteriorly bulky ribs, square pelvis, severe ?oxa vara, marked thin- ning of the innominate bones, and poorly tabu- lated, markedly shortened long bones with irregu- lar metaphyses. [docslide.com.br]

  • Lordosis

    Square pelvis. limbs, bowed legs, and lumbar lordosis. Body proportions are similar to those of achondropla- sia with an adult height of 102 to 137 cm (40 to 54 in). There is normal development of the skull, facies, trunk, and, mental status. [docslide.com.br]

  • Platyspondyly

    Skeletal series (Fig. 4) revealed a large neu- rocranium, generalized platyspondyly involving all the vertebral segments with a typical 'fishmouth' appearance of the vertebral bodies and increase in the apparent size of the interspaces. [docslide.com.br]

  • Disproportionate Dwarfism

    Note the disproportionate dwarfism, bowing of the legs, prominence of the buttocks, moderate lordosis. prominence of the ends of the long bones, and flexion contractures of the joints. 58 Ophthalmic Genet Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by University [docslide.com.br]

  • Confusion

    In the elderly patient, CACD may be confused with AMD, especially in cases with decreased penetrance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    On color vision testing, the Farnsworth-Munsell Panel D-15 showed a nondiagnostic color confusion. [documents.tips]

    Diffuse cone dystrophy can be confused with central areolar choroidal dys- trophy. However, patients with the former disease show a selective cone dysfunction with normal rod response (Berson 1993). [myslide.es]

  • Shortened Long Bone

Treatment Treatment Options: There is no treatment of the macular disease. However, some patients can benefit from low vision aids. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Central Areolar Choroidal Dystrophy is poor. [dovemed.com]

Prognosis - this condition recurs over months and frequent foveal involvement gives rise to a relatively poor prognosis. Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) Nature - uncommon, idiopathic and self-limiting condition. [patient.info]

(Etiology) Central Areolar Choroidal Dystrophy is a congenital disorder that is inherited in an autosomal dominant/recessive manner. It is also classified as a type of choroidal dystrophy. [dovemed.com]

What is the likely etiology? a. Stargardt’s macular dystrophy. b. Geographic atrophy from macular degeneration. c. Central areolar choroidal dystrophy. d. North Carolina macular dystrophy. 3. [reviewofoptometry.com]

These contradictory findings do not provide further insight into the possible etiology of the disease but indicate that the function of the RPE is either normal or slightly diminished in patients with mtDNA A3243G mutations. [bmcophthalmol.biomedcentral.com]
