    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Norrie's disease is an X-linked inherited condition.
    • It manifests as congenital bilateral blindness.
    • Ocular findings include a retrolental membrane progressing to phthisis bulbi.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation and key features of Norrie's disease.
    • To highlight associated systemic manifestations.
    • To outline differential diagnoses for accurate identification.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical case description and literature review.
    • Analysis of typical symptoms and progression.
    • Comparison with other causes of congenital vision impairment.

    Main Results:

    • Bilateral blindness present from birth or early infancy.
    • Associated symptoms in males: dementia/psychosis (25%), sensory hearing loss (20-25%).
    • Clinically unaffected carriers.

    Conclusions:

    • Norrie's disease requires careful differential diagnosis from other pediatric eye conditions.
    • Recognition of systemic features is crucial for comprehensive patient management.
    • Understanding the X-linked inheritance pattern is key for genetic counseling.
