    6 Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus

    Part II: Pediatric Ophthalmology

    Chapter 25: Disorders of the Retina and Vitreous

    Congenital and Developmental Abnormalities

    Hereditary Vitreoretinopathies

    Hereditary vitreoretinopathies include a broad range of disease entities. The ones discussed here characteristically present in childhood.

    Juvenile retinoschisis

    Juvenile retinoschisis (splitting of the retina) is an X-linked disease caused by mutations in the RS1 gene, which encodes for the retinal protein retinoschisin, an adhesion protein that is believed to be essential to the health of Müller cells. Affected males usually present in early childhood with decreased vision. Visual acuity varies but usually deteriorates to roughly 20/200.

    Figure 25-17 Best disease. A, Left eye with vitelliform lesion and central dome-shaped choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM). B, Right eye with central macular hyperautofluorescence due to vitelliform material, as seen on FAF imaging. C, Fluorescein angiography image (right eye) reveals central macular hyperfluorescence due to staining of vitelliform material. D, Fluorescein angiography image (left eye) shows late central hyperfluorescence from leakage of CNVM. E, Spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) image (right eye) reveals subretinal hyperreflective material with a hyporeflective cleft corresponding to the vitelliform lesion. F, SD-OCT image (left eye) reveals a large subfoveal pigment epithelial detachment with subretinal hyperreflective material and subretinal fluid.

    Diagnosis

    Foveal retinoschisis is present in almost all cases; peripheral retinoschisis, in approximately 50% of patients. The fovea has a stellate or spokelike configuration that may resemble cystoid macular edema; it becomes less distinct over time. SD-OCT shows schisis spaces in the middle layers of the macula (Fig 25-18A). Vitreous veils or strands are common, and vitreal syneresis, or liquefaction, is prominent. Complications include vitreous hemorrhage and various types of retinal detachment (Figs 25-18B, 25-19). The ERG shows a reduction of the scotopic b-wave with preservation of the a-wave.

    Treatment

    Contact sports should be avoided because the retina in affected eyes is more susceptible to trauma. Gene replacement has shown some success in mouse models. Use of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors to treat cystic macular lesions is under investigation.

There is a large circumferential tractional retinal detachment around the arcades, encroaching on the central macula. A retinal hole is also present. B, Fluorescein angiography reveals an extensive tractional detachment. C, Macular OCT image demonstrates retinoschisis with a tractional detachment and subretinal fluid encroaching on the fovea.

    Stickler syndrome

    Stickler syndrome is a group of connective tissue disorders with variable phenotypic expression. The most common type of Stickler syndrome is autosomal dominant, has ocular and systemic findings, and is caused by a mutation in COL2A1, the gene that encodes for type II procollagen. Some mutations in the gene cause an ocular-only phenotype.

    Diagnosis

    The diagnosis is made based on the clinical features as well as the results of genetic testing. Common ocular abnormalities include an optically empty vitreous due to vitreous liquefaction, high myopia, lattice degeneration, and proliferative vitreoretinopathy. In addition, there is a high incidence of retinal detachment secondary to retinal breaks. Anterior chamber angle anomalies, ectopia lentis, cataracts, ptosis, and strabismus are less common.

    Characteristic systemic abnormalities are a flat midface, progressive hearing loss, cleft palate, Pierre Robin sequence, mitral valve prolapse, and progressive arthropathy with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia. Although the arthropathy may not be symptomatic initially, children with Stickler syndrome often show radiographic abnormalities of the long bones and joints, and associated symptoms develop.

    Treatment

    The retinal detachments are often difficult to repair because these patients may have large retinal breaks posteriorly and the incidence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy is high. The incidence of vitreous loss during cataract surgery is high, as is the rate of subsequent retinal detachment. Retinal folds and breaks should be treated before cataract extraction. Prophylactic retinopexy may be appropriate in certain patients.

    Knobloch syndrome

    Knobloch syndrome is a vitreoretinopathy caused by biallelic mutations in COL18A1. It is classically defined by the triad of occipital encephalocele, high myopia, and predisposition to retinal detachment.

    Diagnosis

    The ocular phenotype is characterized by a distinct vitreoretinal degeneration—very severe RPE atrophic changes with prominent choroidal vessels (Fig 25-20A) out of proportion to the degree of myopia, macular atrophic lesions with or without a “punched-out” appearance, and white fibrillar vitreous condensations. These eyes have a strong predisposition to spontaneous retinal detachment. Smooth (cryptless) irides are universal in affected eyes (Fig 25-20B); ectopia lentis is an occasional finding. Taken together, these ocular findings are pathognomonic for biallelic COL18A1 mutations.

    ERG shows cone–rod dysfunction. Pigment dispersion glaucoma has been reported in 2 patients.

    Systemic manifestations are variable and not always present; they include occipital abnormalities (Fig 25-20C) (ranging from scalp abnormalities to encephalocele), congenital renal malformations, developmental delay, seizures, and heterotopic gray matter.

    Treatment

    Therapy is based on disease manifestations.

    Norrie disease

    Norrie disease is an X-linked recessive disorder of retinal dysplasia caused by a mutation in the NDP gene, which encodes for the protein norrin. Affected boys are typically born blind and have varying degrees of hearing impairment and intellectual disability.

    Diagnosis

    The condition is characterized by a distinctive retinal appearance: a globular, severely dystrophic retina with pigmentary changes in the avascular periphery. During the first few days or weeks of life, a bilateral, yellowish retinal detachment appears, followed by a whiter mass behind the clear lens. Over time, the lenses, and later the cornea, opacify; phthisis bulbi may ensue by age 10 years or earlier. Female carriers show peripheral retinal abnormalities.

    Treatment

    No treatment exists.

    Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy

    Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a disease of abnormal retinal vascularization similar to that seen in ROP (discussed earlier in the chapter). There is failure of the peripheral retina to vascularize. FEVR is typically autosomal dominant, but autosomal recessive and X-linked forms exist as well, the latter resulting from mutations in the same gene involved in Norrie disease (NDP).

    Diagnosis

    Posterior pole findings in FEVR include retinal traction, folds, breaks, and detachment secondary to vitreous traction (Fig 25-21A). Posterior vitreous detachment and thick peripheral intraretinal and subretinal exudates may develop (Fig 25-21B). The disease is bilateral and can mimic ROP but affects infants born at full term. Fluorescein angiography shows areas of retinal nonperfusion and neovascularization (Fig 25-21C). Examination of family members is important in the diagnosis of FEVR. Affected family members can show marked variation in severity, from minimal straightening of retinal vessels and peripheral nonperfusion to total retinal detachment.

Note the subretinal exudates. C, Fluorescein angiography image shows peripheral avascular retina and hyperfluorescence from leakage of peripheral vessels.

    Treatment

    Cryopexy, photocoagulation, vitrectomy, and cataract surgery have been used to manage patients with this disorder.
