[1] Thoracic sympathectomy is the definitive treatment of diaphoresis, if the condition is not treatable by drug therapy. [1]
It is used to prevent or treat dry mouth, particularly in Sjögren syndrome, but also as a side effect of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. [17] It may be used to help differentiate Adie syndrome from other causes of unequal pupil size. [18] [19] It may be used to treat a form of dry eye called aqueous deficient dry eye (ADDE) [20]
Proposed treatments include hyperbaric oxygen, [54] levodopa or carbidopa, [55] aspirin, [56] transvitreal optic neurotomy, [57] bevacizumab [58] [59] and vitrectomy. The Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Decompression Trial [ 60 ] [ 61 ] observed that while spontaneous visual function deterioration occurred in 12% of 125 control eyes, the condition ...
BCD is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [2] This means the defective gene responsible for the disorder is located on an autosome, and two copies of the defective gene (one inherited from each parent) are required in order to be born with the disorder.
