To our knowledge, we believe these to be the first cases of Wagner's disease to be presented in a nonwhite pedigree. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Coxa Valga
Skeletal survey revealed multiple wormian bones, hypoplastic facial bones and mandible, narrow thorax with wavy ribs, narrow ilia, and coxa valga with slight broadening of the proximal femora, findings of which were individually minor, but the assemblage [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Psychomotor Retardation
Mild psychomotor retardation is sometimes seen. High levels of keratin sulfate are found in the urine. Genetics Mutations in the COL2A1 gene (12q13.11-q13.2) coding for type II collagen is responsible for this autosomal dominant disorder. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Hypertelorism
The cardinal features included hyperextensibility of the joints, vitreoretinal degeneration with cataracts, and facial abnormalities, comprising hypertelorism, prominent eyes, downslanting of the palpebral fissures, mid-face recession with a short nose [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pierre Robin Syndrome
Robin syndrome with fetal chondrodysplasia, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a single-base mutation in the COL11A2 gene, which substitutes glutamate for glycine. 56 In the past, it was often misdiagnosed as Stickler syndrome. [clinicalgate.com]
Workup
Full workup including full-field electroretinography and electrooculography were reported as normal, and genetic testing for Stargardt disease and macular dystrophies were negative. [djo.harvard.edu]
[…] coherence tomography (optional; may be used to follow disease progression): To examine retinal thickness Multifocal electroretinography (optional; may be used to follow disease progression): To evaluate functional response of retinal rods and cones See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]
Other Test Results
-
Electroretinogram Abnormal
Typical fundus findings combined with night blindness and electroretinogram abnormalities permited the diagnosis of Goldmann-Favre vitreoretinal degeneration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Treatment An ophthalmologist who is experienced in interpreting the results of sophisticated examination and testing should recommend the best course of treatment for each patient. [neec.com]
Treatment Treatment Options: Treatment is largely supportive. Attempts at repair of retinal detachments often fail and phthisis bulbi is not uncommon. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Research and treatment of AMD We now routinely use drugs called anti-VEGF therapies such as Lucentis, Avastin, Eyelea, and Macugen in the treatment of Wet AMD. [orlick-berger-kasper.com]

Prognosis
Retinal detachment was not encountered, although reports in the nonophthalmic literature claim up to 50% retinal detachment rate and poor visual prognosis in these patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis of lattice degeneration is generally good. Patient Education Educate the patient on signs of retinal detachment. Encourage annual follow-up for dilated eye examinations. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for lattice degeneration in itself is good. The vast majority of patients will have lesions that are completely stable or slowly progressive. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
Many of the diseases of the peripheral retina can be divided into trophic (nutritional), tractional, and a combination of trophic plus tractional etiologies. [books.google.com]
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]
Lattice Degeneration Etiology Lattice degeneration is a common clinical entity which has many morphologies. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology Frequency United States Lattice degeneration affects approximately 10% of the population and is bilateral in 30-50% of patients who are affected. [emedicine.medscape.com]
February 13, 2017 By Dr Chang Epidemiology Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the number 1 cause of blindness in the Western world. It affects 8 million Americans, including more than 30% of American older than 75 years of age. [mersi.com]
We believe that future prospective, population studies will better characterize the epidemiology and progression rates of vitreoretinal separation. [dovepress.com]
