  Fine, straight hairs have been observed with patches of alopecia. Slow wave background changes on EEG have been described in about one-third of patients and peripheral neuropathy is sometimes a feature. Hearing loss has been described as well. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  The initial case was a 47 year old male with past exposure of tuberculosis (multiple family members) was admitted for alopecia areata. [eyewiki.org]

• Muscle Weakness

  Systemic Features: Mild muscle weakness may occur due to tubular aggregates in type 2 muscle fibers, which can be visualized with electron microscopy and may lead to loss of these fibers and muscle wasting. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

• Confusion

  This is known as a vitreous detachment, which is quite common and should not be confused with a retinal detachment, which is much more rare and much more serious. [waterdownoptometric.ca]

  It is characterized by a smooth, dome-shaped elevation of the inner layer of the schisis cavity in the peripheral fundus and may be confused with a RD. [reviewofophthalmology.com]

• Peripheral Neuropathy

  Slow wave background changes on EEG have been described in about one-third of patients and peripheral neuropathy is sometimes a feature. Hearing loss has been described as well. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

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. There is a low risk of retinal detachments in patient with round holes, and the incidence of atrophic holes in the general population is low as well. American Academy of Ophthalmology. [eyewiki.aao.org]

The prognosis of retinal detachment due to lattice degeneration. Ann Ophthalmol 1978 ; Sept : 1197 –200. Byer NE. Lattice degeneration of the retina. Surv Ophthalmol 1979 ; 23 : 213. Byer NE. [bjo.bmj.com]

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 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]

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]

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]

Pathophysiology: Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that plays an important role in the metabolism of urea, creatinine and polyamines, and in the exchange of molecules between the urea and Kreb's cycles. [path.upmc.edu]

Ongoing genetic research continues to change the understanding of pathophysiology. Stargardt's disease and fundus flavimaculatus [ 3 ] There has been some question as to whether this condition is two diseases or one. [patient.info]

The topics range from prevention to state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques and the latest surgical treatment options for many eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.This publication provides the ophthalmologist [books.google.com]

Unfortunately, there is very little that one can do on a preventive basis to avoid atrophic retinal holes or lattice degeneration, but regular eye examinations and immediate evaluation of any unusual visual symptoms are the best way to avoid further damage [waterdownoptometric.ca]
