- Night Blindness
Acquired Causes Most of the acquired causes of night blindness (night blindness which is not present since birth and does not have a genetic basis), generally fall into the category of progressive night blindness. [web.archive.org]
ERG might be more sensitive than serum vitamin A level and is recommended in case of night blindness but still normal vitamin A level. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Night blindness is poor vision at night or in dim light. Night blindness may cause problems with driving at night. People with night blindness often have trouble seeing stars on a clear night or walking through a dark room, such as a movie theater. [nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Metastatic workup showed no nodal or distant spread, T1N0M0 stage I. After orchiectomy, the patient underwent adjuvant external beam radiotherapy to the para-aortic nodes. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Splenogonadal fusion in a 29-year-old man with a painless, palpable left testicular mass, found during workup for infertility. [pubs.rsna.org]
PET scanning is not usually part of the initial workup but may be useful in tracking activity and growth in residual masses following definitive chemotherapy. [9] [3] [10] [11] Several laboratory values may be useful in following tumor burdens. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
KEYWORDS: Cuban treatment; Soviet Union treatment; dubious RP treatments; historical RP treatments; night blindness; retinitis pigmentosa (RP) [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Future treatments may include retinal transplant, artificial retinal implants, and stem-cell treatment of the genetic defect. [web.archive.org]

Prognosis
Prognosis Prognosis is good but depends on the stage of disease with 5- year survival rates as high as 99% in stage 1 disease. [orpha.net]
Prognosis Seminoma of the testis is associated with a good prognosis, with most tumours following an indolent course. In cases without evidence of lymphatic spread, 5 year survival approaches 100%. [healthengine.com.au]
Prognosis : guarded to poor. Pathogenesis Etiology Inherited in the Appaloosa by, as yet, an unidentified pattern - thought to be either autosomal recessive, or sex-linked recessive, with the defect on the X chromosome. [vetstream.com]
Moreover, data suggest an improved overall prognosis for MBD. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
However, the etiology of this unique form of unilateral night blindness remains obscure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathogenesis Etiology Inherited in the Appaloosa by, as yet, an unidentified pattern - thought to be either autosomal recessive, or sex-linked recessive, with the defect on the X chromosome. [vetstream.com]
Etiology Etiology is unknown but tumors are thought to arise from an embryonic germ cell leading to testicular intraepithelial neoplasia (the precursor to classical seminoma). [orpha.net]
Etiology and Pathophysiology It has long been accepted that the etiology of Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is likely either toxic or nutritional, as it is seen predominantly in malnourished alcoholics. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention
Proper intake of vitamin A is one preventive measure against night blindness. If the problems originates from other medical conditions, it can be prevented only if the specific condition that leads to night blindness is preventable. [ic.steadyhealth.com]
Night Blindness Prevention “Prevention is better than cure”, isn’t it? In most cases, night blindness can be prevented by taking proper care of one’s health. [healthguidance.org]
Prevention and Management By treating the above conditions early it is possible to prevent night blindness. Vitamin A supplementation as a preventative measure will only be effective for night blindness due to vitamin A deficiency. [healthhype.com]
