Lattice degeneration is present and often radial and perivascular ( Fig. 14.5 ). There is a high incidence of retinal breaks, which may be multiple or giant retinal tears. Cataracts and glaucoma are often present. FIGURE 14.4.[entokey.com]

Etiology and pathogenesis FEVR primary pathology is a premature arrest of retinal vasculogenesis, leading to incomplete vascularisation of the peripheral retina. The secondary complications are mainly due to retinal ischemia.[institut-vision.org]
Etiology Types 1-4 Stickler syndrome are classically inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion [3], though a significant number of cases may be sporadic. [2] Risk Factors The only known risk factor for Stickler syndrome is a family history of the condition[eyewiki.aao.org]
