PRPH2 gene mutations are frequently found in inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) and associated with a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes. We studied 28 subjects affected by IRD carrying pathogenic mutations, belonging to 11 unrelated families. Functional tests (best-corrected visual acuity measurement, chromatic test, field, full-field, 30 Hz flicker, multifocal electroretinogram), morphological retino-choroidal imaging (optical coherence tomography, optical tomography angiography, fundus...
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on Ophthalmic Emergency Department (OED) activity tertiary eye centre Verona. Methods: OED reports patients visited during lockdown (COVID-period) and in corresponding period 2017, 2018 2019 (COVID-free period) have been retrieved to draw a comparison. Patients’ demographic clinical data recorded analysed are following: age, gender, previous ocular history, aetiology, symptoms onset, type symptoms, discharge diagnosis, urgency severity...
The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed radical behavioral and social changes in the general population, significantly impacting lives of individuals affected by disabilities. aim this study was to investigate impact on non-institutionalized subjects with sensorineural disabilities during first wave Italy.A 39-item online national survey disseminated from 1 April 2020 31 June via media throughout Italy communities proven severe disabilities, affiliated five patient associations. collected...
The measure of the full-field photopic negative response (ff-PhNR) light-adapted electroretinogram (ff-ERG) allows to evaluate function innermost retinal layers (IRL) containing primarily ganglion cells (RGCs) and other non-neuronal elements entire retina. aim this study was acquire functional information localized IRL by measuring PhNR in multifocal stimuli (mfPhNR). In case-control observational retrospective study, we assessed mfPhNR responses from 25 healthy controls 20 patients with...
The aim of this study was to assess the morpho-functional involvement retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and visual pathways in patients with superficial (ODD-S) or deep (ODD-D) optic disc drusen. This enrolled 17 ODD (mean age 59.10 ± 12.68 years) providing 19 eyes 20 control subjects 58.62 8.77 eyes. We evaluated following: best-corrected acuity, field mean deviation (MD), amplitude (A) Pattern Electroretinogram (PERG), implicit time (IT) A Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs), nerve fiber layer...
We investigated the potential correlation between morphological and functional parameters describing rarefaction dysfunction of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), located in macula, multiple sclerosis eyes with a history optic neuritis (MS-ON). A total 19 MS-ON from MS patients (mean age: 44.16 ± 4.66 years; 11 females 8 males), mean disease duration 10.06 6.12 years full recovery visual acuity, 30 age-similar 45.09 5.08 years) healthy were submitted for ophthalmological evaluation using...
Data were collected through a nationwide survey conducted in 2018. All maternity wards active Italy 2017 included.The aims of this paper to present data on the implementation and coverage simultane-ous Universal Neonatal Hearing Vision Screening programmes evaluate organization management these healthcare procedures Italy.Our results show that simultaneous hearing vision screening increased both tests is new multi-disciplinary approach sensorineural disability. The use ABR TEOAE decreases...
Background: Autosomal-dominant facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a with associated retinal abnormalities such as vessel tortuosity, focal pigment epithelium defect and large telangiectasia vessels. Methods: Case report of an FSHD 16-year-old female referred for blurred vision in both eyes (20/40), evening fever shoulder muscle weakness over the past month preceding assessment. A multimodal assessment including visual acuity (VA), microperimetry (MP), multifocal...

We describe the macular morpho-functional assessment of a 65-year-old man affected by stellate nonhereditary idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis (SNIFR), studied visual field, SD-OCT, autofluorescence, full-field electroretinogram (ffERG), multifocal (mfERG) and Photopic Negative Response (mfPhNR) recordings. The typical presentation consists foveal appearance radial cartwheel pattern for splitting retinal layers at level Henle fiber layer (HFL) outer plexiform (OPL), perfectly seen...
Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder due to the homozygous pathological expansion of guanine-adenine-adenine (GAA) triplet repeats in first intron FXN gene, which encodes for mitochondrial protein frataxin. In visual system, typical manifestations are ocular motility abnormality, optic neuropathy, and retinopathy. Despite evidence ophthalmological impairment FRDA patients, there lack information about morpho-functional condition retina pathways...
