A necropsy study of 737 cases showed a 2.4% incidence with 2 out of 15 (13%) bilateral, [2] perhaps indicating the insidious nature of many cases. An autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with incomplete penetrance and associated inherited dysplasia of the optic disc and its blood supply is suspected.
Blepharophimosis forms a part of blepharophimosis, ptosis, epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES), also called blepharophimosis syndrome, which is an autosomal dominant condition characterised by blepharophimosis, ptosis (upper eyelid drooping), epicanthus inversus (skin folds by the nasal bridge, more prominent lower than upper lid) and telecanthus (widening of the distance between the inner ...
Other common symptoms include lack of an eyelid fold, an appearance of widely spaced eyes (telecanthus), low nose bridge and ear malformations (including cupping and incomplete development). Rare symptoms include microphthalmos (abnormally small eyes), tear ducts in the wrong location and a high-arched palate . [ 1 ]
Blepharochalasis is an inflammation of the eyelid that is characterized by exacerbations and remissions of eyelid edema, which results in a stretching and subsequent atrophy of the eyelid tissue, leading to the formation of redundant folds over the lid margins. It typically affects only the upper eyelids, and may be unilateral as well as bilateral.
Vision loss in dominant optic atrophy is due to optic nerve fiber loss from mitochondria dysfunction. Dominant optic atrophy is associated with mutation of the OPA1 gene [9] found on chromosome 3, region q28-qter. Also, 5 other chromosomal genes are described as causing optic atrophy: OPA2 (x-linked), OPA3 (dominant), OPA4 (dominant), OPA5 ...
[10] The onset of blepharospasm tends to be during the ages 40–60. [8] [10] [11] The condition is roughly more than twice as frequent among females than males, [7] [8] [11] which may be related to menopause and hormone treatments. [12] [13] In Taiwan, the condition is more frequent among white- than blue-collar workers. [8]
(H02.5) Stye, an acne type infection of the sebaceous glands on or near the eyelid. (H02.6) Xanthelasma of eyelid (H03.0*) Parasitic infestation of eyelid in diseases classified elsewhere Dermatitis of eyelid due to Demodex species ( B88.0+ ) Parasitic infestation of eyelid in: leishmaniasis ( B55.-+ ) loiasis ( B74.3+ ) onchocerciasis ( B73+ )
Radiation optic neuropathy (RON) is also thought to be due to ischemia of the optic nerve that occurs 3 months to 8 or more years after radiation therapy to the brain and orbit. It occurs most often around 1.5 years after treatment and results in irreversible and severe vision loss, which may also be associated with damage to the retina ...
