Ocular abnormalities in chronic familial hyperphosphatasemia.

T C Iancu, G Almagor, H Savir

    Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
    |July 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Chronic Familial Hyperphosphatasemia (CHF) can cause eye problems like abnormal pigmentation, retinal folds, and angioid streaks. These ocular changes suggest CHF affects collagen metabolism and is a systemic condition beyond bone dysplasia.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics
    • Metabolic Disorders

    Background:

    • Chronic Familial Hyperphosphatasemia (CHF) is a rare genetic disorder.
    • Understanding its systemic manifestations is crucial for patient management.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with CHF presented with distinct ocular abnormalities.
    • Key findings included abnormal retinal pigmentation, variable retinal folds, and angioid streaks.

    Findings:

    • The ocular changes in CHF appear linked to disruptions in collagen metabolism.
    • This suggests CHF is a generalized connective tissue disorder, not solely a bone dysplasia.

    Implications:

    • Ocular examination is important for diagnosing and monitoring CHF.
    • CHF may present with varied extraskeletal manifestations, requiring a holistic approach to care.
