Cone-rod dystrophy is a group of related eye disorders that causes vision loss, which becomes more severe over time. These disorders affect the retina, which is the layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. In people with cone-rod dystrophy, vision loss occurs as the light-sensing cells of the retina gradually deteriorate.
Descrizione
Cone-rod dystrophy is a group of related eye disorders that causes vision loss, which becomes more severe over time. These disorders affect the retina, which is the layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. In people with cone-rod dystrophy, vision loss occurs as the light-sensing cells of the retina gradually deteriorate.
The first signs and symptoms of cone-rod dystrophy, which often occur in childhood, are usually decreased sharpness of vision (visual acuity) and increased sensitivity to light (photophobia). These features are typically followed by impaired colour vision (dyschromatopsia), blind spots (scotomas) in the center of the visual field, and partial side (peripheral) vision loss. Over time, affected individuals develop night blindness and a worsening of their peripheral vision, which can limit independent mobility. Decreasing visual acuity makes reading increasingly difficult and most affected individuals are legally blind by mid-adulthood. As the condition progresses, individuals may develop involuntary eye movements (nystagmus).
There are more than 30 types of cone-rod dystrophy, which are distinguished by their genetic cause and their pattern of inheritance: autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, and X-linked. Additionally, cone-rod dystrophy can occur alone without any other signs and symptoms or it can occur as part of a syndrome that affects multiple parts of the body.
Modelli di ereditarietà

Problemi agli occhi
Distrofie corneali These are a group of progressive conditions which cause a build-up of cloudy material in the cornea. Retinal detachment (RD) The retina is made up of two layers: an inner layer of light-sensitive 'seeing cells' (called rods e cones) and an outer layer of pigmented cells which nourish and support them.

Occlusione dell'arteria retinica
Occlusione dell'arteria retinica occurs when the retinal artery or one of its branches becomes blocked. This cuts off the blood and nutrient supply to the nerve layer ... When you look at an object, light from the object passes through the cornea of your eye, then the lens and then the retina at the back of your eye. Nerve messages pass from the seeing.

Scoliosi e cifosi
Scoliosi is a back condition that causes the (back) spine to curve to the side - either left or right. Most cases develop in children between the ages of 9 and 14 years during the growth spurt of puberty. Scoliosi... This means the curve is caused by a condition which affects muscles or nerves of the back. For example, it may happen in some.

Insufficienza cervicale e sutura
Cervical insufficiency (sometimes called cervical incompetence) occurs when the neck of the womb (the cervix) softens, shortens and opens without any other symptoms of labour. This may be in the second trimester or early in the third, leading to premature delivery of the baby. Cervical suture - also called cervical cerclage or cervical stitch - is.

Degenerazione maculare
Degenerazione maculare legata all'età is the most common causa di sight impairment in those aged over 50. It causes a gradual loss of central vision, which is needed for detailed work and for things like reading and driving. Macular degeneration (also known as age-related macular degeneration) occurs when cells in the macula - the central area of the.
