Treatment Treatment Options: Kidney failure may require renal transplantation. Vesicoureteral reflex has been treated with ureteral reimplantation. Low vision aids may be beneficial in some patients. Renal hypertension requires treatment. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Treatment for macular schisis includes anti-VEGF injections to reduce fluid accumulation, while treatment for refractive error includes careful refraction and complete correction. [gavinpublishers.com]

You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis depends primarily on appropriate specialized treatment. Renal failure can occur at any age requiring dialysis and renal transplantation. Formal longitudinal studies of visual prognosis have not been carried out. [orpha.net]

The prognosis worsens if the disorder is associated with concomitant cyanotic congenital heart disease, central nervous system anomalies, and esophageal atresia. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]

Prognosis [ 9 ] The prognosis for vision depends on the severity and location of the coloboma (particularly in relation to the optic nerve, macula and maculopapular bundle) and on any complications such as retinal detachment or amblyopia. [patient.info]

Treatment and follow-up The visual prognosis in individuals with morning glory disc anomaly is poor. [aao.org]

Treatment and prognosis The main clinical problem for patients with COACH syndrome is progressive portal hypertension and liver failure. Treatment aims to reduce symptoms and prevent complications. [radiopaedia.org]

This finding provided the molecular confirmation of the patient's clinical diagnosis and showed that, in addition to point mutations, deletions of the PAX2 gene contribute to the etiology of the renal-coloboma syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Mutations in the PAX2 gene (10q24) have been identified in about 1/2 of patients with renal hypodysplasia and abnormalities of the optic nerve. [orpha.net]

However, advanced technologies have made it increasingly easier to differentiate between specific presentations and etiologies. [gavinpublishers.com]

Etiology Presently, no genes have been identified that cause COACH syndrome specifically. It is likely that alterations in multiple genes cause this condition. [radiopaedia.org]
