Ocular manifestations : patients usually present with marked decrease in vision. [ijem.in]
Entire Body System
- Splenectomy
Hone and expand your surgical skills by watching videos of minimally invasive procedures for recto urethral fistula, biliary atresia, laparoscopic splenectomy, uterine horn, and more. [books.google.com]
- Heat Intolerance
[…] central nervous system/peripheral nervous system (CNS/PNS) innervation Lacrimal gland aplasia/hypoplasia Syndromic Isolated congenital alacrima Riley-Day syndrome - Familial dysautonomia Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia - Decreased sweating and salivation, heat [emedicine.medscape.com]
Workup
The workup revealed elevated immunoglobulins and histologically normal lacrimal and salivary glands, but there was deposition of amyloid in the conjunctival stroma. The differential diagnosis of the dry eye is discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is a significant clinical entity, diagnosing & understanding its pathophysiology can save the patient from spurious medical workups & the anxiety of a suspected neoplasm. The number of its authentic cases in the literature is small. [biomedsearch.com]
Colonoscopy
- Polyps
Review the latest developments in the field and get up-to-date clinical information on hot topics like polyps, capsule endoscopy, and pancreatic treatments. [books.google.com]
Immune system diseases Allergies and autoimmune diseases Asthma Systemic lupus erythematosus Hashimoto’s thyroiditis Graves’ disease Allograft rejection Graft-versus-host disease Extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) Rheumatoid arthritis Asthma with nasal polyps [csirnotes.com]
Treatment
Management and treatment Artificial tears are the first treatment option, needed to avoid corneal sequelae. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
Make informed clinical choices for each patient, from diagnosis and treatment selection through post-treatment strategies and management of complications, with new evidence-based criteria throughout. [books.google.com]
Prognosis
PMID: 16915903 Prognosis Arya SK, Chaudhuri Z, Jain R, Nahar R, Sood S Cornea 2004 Aug;23(6):632-4. PMID: 15257005 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (Avastin) has been reported as a supportive measure in aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity Prognosis :: Prognosis : Most premature infants with ROP recover with no lasting visual problems. [authorstream.com]
Prognosis for vision is poor. F. [clinicalgate.com]
We systematically reviewed the literature to assess the use of BNP and NT-proBNP in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment for HF. [biomedsearch.com]
Etiology
Duijsens H M - - 2014 Rosai-Dorman disease (RDD) is a rare disorder of proliferative histiocytes with an unknown etiology. It is also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy. [biomedsearch.com]
[…] gene encodes a 547-amino acid protein named ALADIN (for alacrima-achalasia-adrenal insufficiency-neurologic disorder), which belongs to the family of regulatory proteins that play an important role in regulating intracellular protein transport. [1] Etiologies [emedicine.medscape.com]
[…] often involves multiple major salivary glands. 1, 2 Isolated unilateral major salivary gland aplasia is a rare entity with only a few cases reported in the literature to date. 4, 8 – 10 The aplasia is likely due to arrest in organogenesis, but the exact etiology [ajnr.org]
The etiology is probably an autoimmune attack on the corneal epithelium. [ijem.in]
Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology Prevalence is unknown. Genetic counseling Transmission is usually autosomal recessive, but dominant transmission has also been described. [orpha.net]
Epidemiology Frequency United States Alacrima is uncommon. International Alacrima is uncommon. Mortality/Morbidity Corneal sequelae are the most feared complication of alacrima. Age Onset of alacrima occurs in infancy. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology :: Pathophysiology : Excessive oxygen therapy causes hyperoxic, causes retinal vasoconstriction and irreversible capillary endothelial cell destruction. [authorstream.com]
Pathophysiology Alacrima is usually inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion, but dominant pedigrees have been described. [emedicine.medscape.com]
