The material comprised 10 eyes of five autopsies in which the diagnosis had been confirmed by neuropathological autopsy. The condition is clinically characterized by its age of onset from eight to 18 months, rapid psychomotor retardation, ataxia, and muscular hypotony. The patients become blind by the age of two years with optic atrophy and retinal hypopigmentation as the main ophthalmoscopic features. In the retina a complete disappearance of the visual cells, the bipolar cells and the ganglion cells was observed with marked reactive gliosis. Loss of pigment from the retinal pigment epithelium had taken place. The optic nerve showed atrophy and gliosis with complete loss of myelin sheaths. Granular deposits stainable with PAS, and Sudan black B stains were observed in the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium of the pars plana, the pigment epithelium as well as the glial cells of the optic nerve. Granular deposits were also noted in the cytoplasm of large pigmentladen macrophages in the retina. Electronmicroscopy revealed osmiophilic granular deposits in the cytoplasm of many retinal glial cells.","PeriodicalId":76019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pediatric ophthalmology","volume":"14 4 1","pages":"235-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70103287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many are not aware of the combined limb deficiencies and cranial nerve dysfunctions. Limb malformations have been associated with a spectrum of oral facial anomalies consisting of micrognathia, hypoglossia, microstomia, hypodontia, oral bands, and dysarthria. It has been suggested that the differences which exists between these entities may in fact represent a common etiology. The variability may be related to an intrauterine insult at slightly different times. The oral-facial anomalies associated with absence of limbs or of limb anomalies suggests a correlation between the limbs and the first visceral arch possibly within the second month of gestation.","PeriodicalId":76019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pediatric ophthalmology","volume":"14 3 1","pages":"134-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70102516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
