Clinical studies on progressive retinal atrophy in 31 dogs
During a 2-year period, 31 cases of a hereditary retinal degeneration in dogs bred in India were found mainly suspected for progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) with typical history of initial nyctalopia followed by hemeralopia. Out of 31 PRA suspected dogs, 8 dogs (26%) were from the age group of 1-5 years, 15 (48%) 6-10 years and the rest (26%) 11-15 years. The most predominant breed was Spitz (...
متن کاملGyrate Atrophy of the Choroid and Retina: A Case Report
Introduction Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina is a metabolic disorder, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Although gyrate atrophy is rare, it is concerning as it results in blindness. It is characterized by hyperornithinemia, retinal atrophy, leads to progressive myopia and tunnel vision,...
متن کاملEarly Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in Fluorescent Angiography Retinal Images Using Image Processing Methods
Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the single largest cause of sight loss and blindness in the working age population of Western countries; it is the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. Early diagnosis of DR is critical for preventing vision loss so early detection of microaneurysms (MAs) as the first signs of DR is important. This paper addresses th...
متن کاملA rare ophthalmologic disorder: Gyrate atrophy with sparse hair
Gyrate atrophy (GA) is a rare, progressive metabolic choroid and retinal degeneration that results from a deficiency of the pyridoxal phosphate-dependent mitochondrial matrix enzyme ornithine aminotransferase. Here, we report the case of a 40-yearold woman who presented with a gradual decline in visual acuity since puberty, along with a history of high myopia and cataract surgery. She was admit...
متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation in ADAMTS10 in Norwegian Elkhound Primary Glaucoma
Primary glaucoma is one of the most common causes of irreversible blindness both in humans and in dogs. Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy affecting the retinal ganglion cells and optic nerve, and elevated intraocular pressure is commonly associated with the disease. Glaucoma is broadly classified into primary open angle (POAG), primary closed angle (PCAG) and primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). Hu...
