Optic disk abnormalities.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

Ophthalmoscopic abnormalities of the optic disk may signal the presence of acquired intracranial disease; or the disk anomaly may be congenital and only mimic an acquired disk change; or the disk anomaly may be acquired but caused by a purely ocular disease. The abnormal disk may be elevated, excavated, or flat and may be abnormal in color, contour, or size.

Fraser syndrome: a case report and review of the otolaryngologic manifestations.

Fraser syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder whose major manifestations are cryptophthalmos, syndactyly and genital abnormalities. These patients also frequently have malformations of the ears, nose and/or larynx. The diagnosis is usually made at birth from the obvious malformations, although occasionally made on prenatal ultrasound. Treatment is dependent on which malformations are present and genetic counseling is indicated. Prognosis is dependent on the severity of renal and laryngeal malformations.
