Unilateral Retinal Dysplasia

Unilateral Retinal Dysplasia Abstract Although the term "retinal dysplasia" was used in a general sense by earlier writers in reference to abnormalities in development of the retina,1,2 its recent use in many instances reflects the special interpretation placed on it in an article by Reese and Blodi in 1950.3 These authors used the term to designate a syndrome consisting of congenital anomalies involving principally the brain, heart, extremities, mouth and eye. They gave the syndrome this name because the dysplastic retina was the only feature common to all of these cases. In each of their eight cases the ocular abnormality was bilateral and occurred in newborn full-term infants. The eyes were usually microphthalmic, and with an ophthalmoscope a whitish mass consisting of persistent primary vitreous and dysplastic retina could be seen behind the lens.

Abstract Although the term "retinal dysplasia" was used in a general sense by earlier writers in reference to abnormalities in development of the retina,1,2 its recent use in many instances reflects the special interpretation placed on it in an article by Reese and Blodi in 1950.3 These authors used the term to designate a syndrome consisting of congenital anomalies involving principally the brain, heart, extremities, mouth and eye. They gave the syndrome this name because the dysplastic retina was the only feature common to all of these cases. In each of their eight cases the ocular abnormality was bilateral and occurred in newborn full-term infants. The eyes were usually microphthalmic, and with an ophthalmoscope a whitish mass consisting of persistent primary vitreous and dysplastic retina could be seen behind the lens.
