Ocular Changes in Myotonic Dystrophy

Intraocular pressure, corneal thickness, and corneal hysteresis in Steinert's myotonic dystrophy

“…This finding is in agreement with several other studies that reported low IOP using GAT (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)12,13) . One study, conducted by Rosa et al (13) , also found lower IOP in dystrophy patients using ORA.…”

A Case of Myotonic Dystrophy With Pigmentary Retinal Changes

“…Peripheral reticular pigmentary change is the most common form of retinal degeneration and was observed in the present case. This pigmentary change causes decreased b-wave amplitude on electroretinography which we also observed 3. Kimizuka et al9 report on atrophy of the inner retinal layers with preservation of the photoreceptors in the peripheral retina and increased pigmentation with granular, striate or satellite patternin the macula.…”

Clinical and Electrophysiological Abnormalities in the Visual System in Myotonic Dystrophy

“…How ever, an increase in the retinocortical time is usually correlated to demyelination of the visual fibers and combined with disk pallor. Disk pallor is not typical or even frequent in MyD [3], and was observed in one of our patients only. Diseases of the optic nerve, on the other hand, frequently affect only one of the optic nerves, giving a large interocular VEP latency difference [14], In contrast, our data as well as the data from other investiga tions [9,11], show that delayed VEP, as a rule, is bilateral in MyD.…”
