چکیده

The purpose of this study is to describe the correlation of findings between results from spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and microperimetry in a case series regarding patients with Goldmann-Favre syndrome. Goldmann-Favre syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary vitreo-retinal degeneration that impacts the functionality of vision in subjects. Three men with this condition were assessed and subjected to microperimetry and SD-OCT. Two of the men were brothers. This study finds that the retinoschisis and macular cystoid changes noted in the SD-OCT matched the scotomas revealed by the microperimetry. The findings of each of the individual cases are reported herein.

Goldmann-Favre Syndrome: Case Series

Goldmann-Favre syndrome, which is caused by mutation of the NR2E3 gene, is a retinal degenerative disease with a wide spectrum of phenotypic properties. Variations in clinical presentation result in difficulties in differential diagnosis. In this article, Goldmann-Favre syndrome cases with different clinical findings are presented. Clinical characteristics of our cases were reviewed and discuss...

Diagnostic features of the Favre-Goldmann syndrome.

Extensive retinal vascular disease was noted in three patients from two families with Favre-Goldmann syndrome. In addition to classical features they had pronounced leakage from some retinal vessels. Vessels were either opaque ('sclerotic') or non-perfused. Cystoid macular oedema was a contributing cause of decreased vision. Two of the three patients showed a discrepancy on electroretinography ...

Developmental or degenerative – NR2E3 gene mutations in two patients with enhanced S cone syndrome

PURPOSE Enhanced S Cone Syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized clinically by an absence of rod function, a replacement of most L and M cone function by S cone activity (Goldmann-Favre Syndrome) and by variable degrees of retinal degeneration in different families. The causative gene, nuclear receptor subfamily 2, group E, member 3 (NR2E3), controls the developmental seque...

Phenotypic features of patients with NR2E3 mutations.

OBJECTIVE To describe the phenotypes of 5 patients with NR2E3 mutations. METHODS Two patients with familial and 3 with sporadic early-onset nyctalopia and retinal pigment abnormalities were screened for mutations in the NR2E3 gene (OMIM 604485). The clinical course, fundus features, visual field test results, and fluorescein angiographic and electrophysiologic findings were compared. RESULT...

Functional field score: the effect of using a Goldmann V-4e isopter instead of a Goldmann III-4e isopter.

PURPOSE To investigate the underestimation of field loss in functional field score (FFS) between the Goldmann isopters III-4e and V-4e in visually impaired patients, in order to develop a predictive model for the FFS(III-4e) based on FFS(v-4e) that adjusts for possible confounders. Although the visual field is generally evaluated using Goldmann isopter III-4e, it has the disadvantage that not a...
