Presentation
Inheritance - congenital achromatopsia is transmitted in an autosomal-recessive trait Presentation - patients present in early childhood with nystagmus, abnormal visual behaviour or photophobia. Acuity is less than 20/200. [patient.info]
Variable features of lattice lesions include abnormal pigmentation (present in 82 percent), yellow-white surface flecks (present in 80 percent) and branching white lines, which represent occluded or sheathed vessels (present in 17 percent). [reviewofophthalmology.com]
In this volume, the seminars on surgical retina presented by renowned experts during ESASO’s activities are collected. Many specialists have contributed their knowledge to make this volume a device to give practical support. [books.google.com]
High myopia was present in 19 pts. [omicsonline.org]
First things first When a patient who fits the above description presents to your office, begin by eliciting a chief complaint of floaters, flashes or both. [optometricmanagement.com]
Workup
Laboratory test Laboratory studies should be aimed towards narrowing the differential diagnosis depending on the presentation and given the overlap with inflammatory degenerative diseases a workup can include: comprehensive metabolic panel, complete and [eyewiki.org]

The risk of retinal detachment in lattice degeneration with atrophic holes was estimated to be about 1 in 90 patients, and prophylactic treatment for this common anomaly is not readily recommended. [link.springer.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis The ocular prognosis is poor because constriction of the visual field and visual loss are progressive and can cause blindness. Early diagnosis and successful diet treatment are important prognostic factors. [orpha.net]
Prognosis - there is no progression. [patient.info]
Prognosis The prognosis for atrophic retinal holes is good. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Prognosis Patients with PPRCA have good visual prognosis with slowly progressive disease. In patients without macular involvement, visual acuity is minimally adversely affected. [eyewiki.org]
Etiology
Etiology The etiology of PPRCA remains unknown with a presumed initial inflammatory insult that leads to the slow developmental of the retinal findings. [eyewiki.org]
Etiology GACR is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the ornithine aminotransferase OAT gene (10q26) which codes for the ornithine-degrading, pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme ornithine aminotransferase. [orpha.net]
P athophysiology The etiology of lattice is questionable. It appears to be due to dropout of peripheral retinal capillaries with resulting ischemia, which induces thinning of all retinal layers. [eyecaretrust.org.uk]
These cases are usually associated with a worse prognosis compared to breaks of other etiologies. RRD is a common feature in several genetic syndromes. [institut-vision.org]
Furthermore, consideration must be given to the risk of recurrence or involvement of the fellow eye based on the etiology (as described above). [asams.org]
