[Retinal dysplasia with hydrocephalus (author's transl)]. 1978

J P Gerhard, and A Brini, and D Willard, and A Rohmer, and J Messer

A Study is described of a family in which four children of the same generation died during early childhood; three of them had an obvious hydrocephalus. Two of the latter could be examined clinically, and their eyes removed for pathology. One of them presented clinically bilateral leucocoria; histology showed a total detachment of a dysplastic retina, with absence of development of the vitreous. The other child had apparently normal eyes. Yet on microscopical examination there was a discrete retinal dysplasia without retinal detachment in both eyes, and a persistent hyaloid artery, in one. This association of hydrocephalus with retinal dysplasia is clinically and genetically different from other types of retinal dysplasia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
