Dominant optic nerve atrophy with progressive hearing loss and chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO). 1985

F Meire, and J J De Laey, and S de Bie, and M van Staey, and M T Matton

This paper describes a family where chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia is associated with dominant optic atrophy and progressive sensorineural deafness. This may be a possible association in the same family of two diseases: progressive external ophthalmoplegia and dominant optic atrophy with progressive hearing loss. However, we believe that this family represents an unusual manifestation of ophthalmoplegia plus.

D009896 Optic Atrophy Atrophy of the optic disk which may be congenital or acquired. This condition indicates a deficiency in the number of nerve fibers which arise in the RETINA and converge to form the OPTIC DISK; OPTIC NERVE; OPTIC CHIASM; and optic tracts. GLAUCOMA; ISCHEMIA; inflammation, a chronic elevation of intracranial pressure, toxins, optic nerve compression, and inherited conditions (see OPTIC ATROPHIES, HEREDITARY) are relatively common causes of this condition. Atrophy, Optic

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
