72
Q

Pathologie associée à un epibulbar dermoid?

(Congenital iris ectropion)

Définir le ectropion uveae?

A

Ectropion of the posterior pigment epithelium onto the anterior surface of the iris is sometimes termed ectropion uveae, but this is a misnomer because posterior iris epithelium is derived from neural ectoderm and is not considered part of the uvea.

79
Q

(Congenital iris ectropion)

Causes de congenital iris ectropion?

A

Congenital iris ectropion can occur as an acquired tractional abnormality, often associated with rubeosis iridis, or as a congenital nonprogressive abnormality, which can be associated with later glaucoma.

It may occur in patients with
* Neurofibromatosis
* Facial hemihypertrophy
* Prader- Willi syndrome

Q

(Congenital iris ectropion)

Qu’est-ce que le Congenital iris ectropion syndrome ?

A

Congenital iris ectropion syndrome is a constellation of unilateral congenital
* Iris ectropion
* A glassy- smooth cryptless iris surface
* A high iris insertion
* Dysgenesis of the drainage angle
* Glaucoma risk
* Often with ptosis.

81
Q

Définition Dyscoria?

A

Dyscoria is an abnormal pupil shape, typically resulting from congenital malformation such as ARS

82
Q

Définir le Congenital miosis (microcoria)?

A
  • Congenital miosis (microcoria) may represent an absence or malformation of the dilator pupillae muscle.
  • It can also occur secondary to contracture of fibrous material on the pupil margin owing to remnants of the tunica vasculosa lentis or neural crest cell anomalies.
  • The pupil rarely exceeds 2 mm in diameter, is often eccentric, and reacts poorly to mydriatic drops.
  • Severe cases require surgical pupilloplasty.
  • « Ectopia lentis et pupillae » refers to eccentric microcoria with lens subluxation, often from biallelic ADAMTSL4 mutations.
83
Q

V ou F : Many cases of congenital mydriasis fall within the aniridia spectrum.

Atteinte systémique quipeut être associée au congenital mydriasis?

A

Many cases of congenital mydriasis (iridoplegia) fall within the aniridia spectrum, especially if the central iris structures from the collarette to the pupillary sphincter are absent.

Congenital cardiovascular defects may be associated with congenital mydriasis in patients with heterozygous ACTA2 mutation, which sometimes causes an alternate phenotype of prominent iris flocculi rather than iridoplegia.

Other causes include
* Iris sphincter trauma
* Pharmacologic mydriasis
* Acquired neurologic disease that affects parasympathetic innervation

84
Q

(Corectopie)

Déplacement/Positionnement « normal » de l’iris?

A

Normally, the pupil is located approximately 0.5 mm inferonasally from the center of the iris.

85
Q

Définition de la corectopie/À partir de combien de déplacement en mm peut-on dire qu’il s’agit d’une correctopie?

A

Minor deviations of up to 1.0 mm are usually cosmetically insignificant and are not considered abnormal; displacement greater than this is considered corectopia.

Displacement > 1 mm

Q

Définir l’ectopia lentis et pupillae?
Mutation génétique associée?
Axes des déplacements ?

A
  • Ectopia lentis et pupillae is corectopia associated with lens subluxation.
  • It is often due to biallelic ADAMTS4 mutations.
  • The pupils and lenses are displaced in opposite directions.
  • The pupils may be very small and misshapen; they often dilate poorly
87
Q

V ou F : True polycoria are very frequent

A
  • True polycoria (in which each pupil has a sphincter mechanism) is very rare.
  • Most accessory iris openings are pseudopolycoria.
  • These iris holes may be congenital or may develop in response to progressive corectopia and iris hypoplasia in ARSor, in adults, in ICE syndrome.
  • Pseudopolycoria can also result from trauma, surgery, or persistent pupillary membranes.

Laboratory tests for Wilson Disease (x2) ?

A

Laboratory tests for serum copper and ceruloplasmin are better than an eye examination for early diagnosis because the ring can develop late.

A
  • Iris mammillations may be unilateral or bilateral.
  • They appear as numerous tiny, diffuse, pigmented nodules on the surface of the iris.
  • They are more common in darkly pigmented eyes and are usually the same color as the iris.
  • They must be differentiated from Lisch nodules; mammillations are usually dark brown, smooth, uniformly distributed, and equal in size or slightly larger near the pupil.

Q

Brushfield spots versus Wolfflin nodules? Définition?

A

Focal areas of iris stromal hyperplasia surrounded by relative hypoplasia occur in up to 90% of patients with Down syndrome; in such patients, these areas are known as Brushfield spots. They are hypopigmented.

Similar lesions, known as Wolfflin nodules, occur in up to 24% of healthy individuals.

Neither condition is visually significant.

  • This rare lesion shows a spectrum of clinical and pathologic characteristics, ranging from benign to malignant.
  • Although distant metastasis is rare, local invasion can lead to death.
  • Teratoid elements are often present.
  • Enucleation is usually required and is curative in most cases.
