The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

4.6K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Glaucoma: Overview

1.2K
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Paediatric neoplastic uveitis masquerade syndrome (UMS) is a rare condition where intraocular cancers mimic inflammatory uveitis in children.
  • Symptoms include redness, pain, and blurred vision, often challenging to diagnose due to patient age and lack of systemic signs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical importance of distinguishing between uveitis and intraocular malignancies in pediatric patients.
  • To emphasize the diagnostic challenges and life-threatening implications of delayed or incorrect diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common neoplastic masquerades, including acute leukaemia and retinoblastoma (RB).
  • Discussion of diagnostic aids such as multimodal ophthalmic imaging (OCT, fluorescein angiography, ultrasonography), CT, MRI, and laboratory evaluations.

Main Results:

  • Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia can present with varied ocular findings, sometimes indicating relapse.
  • The diffuse infiltrating variant of retinoblastoma can mimic uveitis, often lacking calcification, leading to misdiagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis is essential as treatments for uveitis and cancer differ significantly.
  • Early recognition, prompt referral to oncology/ocular oncology, and multidisciplinary care are crucial for preserving vision and life.
