Please help me before it is too late Hallo, my name is Annika Wistrand and I am 23 years old. I was born with a disease called Retinitis Pigmentosa (R.P.). The ophthalmologist wrongly diagnosed me as strabismal and I received ”eye-patch” and glasses for farsightedness. Not until 14 years of age it appeared to me that something was wrong. Earlier I had been able to read a paper without wearing glasses and it was terrifying to realise how much my visual sight had deteriorated. The disease consists of so called ”spots” on the retina and in these fields my vision disappears. Today my visual is 5 % of normal but is constantly getting worse and worse. By using this media I hope to get in contact with researchers over the world, studying Retinitis Pigmentosa; ophthalmologists, universities, hospitals, pharmaceutical industries and/or people with the same diagnose as myself. Diagnosis: Progressive retinal degenerative disease Visual acuity: 0,08 on right eyes and blind on the left. Changes: After dilatation detachment of the vitreous body. Slightly pale papilla (optic disk). Narrow vessels. Macula-changes in the shape of pigmentdisplacement. In the medio peripheral surrounding a broad annular (ring) of retinitis pigmentosa-shaped pigmentation. Esotropia. Blindsensitive. Nightblindness.

Hjälp mig innan det är försent. Hej, jag heter Annika Wistrand och är 23 år. Jag föddes med en sjukdom som heter R.P. ( Retinitis Pigmentosa ). Läkarna trodde först att jag var skelögd och gav mig lapp för ögat och glasögon för översynthet. Först vid 14 års ålder märkte jag själv att något inte stämde. Innan dess hade jag kunnat läsa en tidning utan glasögon och blev förskräckt över hur mycket min syn hade försämrats. Nästa gång jag märkte en försämring var när jag och en kamrat kastade freesbe, först såg jag den och i nästa stund var den borta. Det var då jag kontaktade min ögonläkare för kontroll av synen, och fick bekräftat att en kraftig försämring hade inträffat. Sjukdomen består av så kallade fläckar på näthinnan, och i dessa fält som fläckarna utgör, försvinner min syn. Idag har jag en syn som ligger på ca 5 % av det normala men den försämras allt eftersom. På det här sättet hoppas jag få kontakt med forskare världen över som studerar denna sjukdom, Retinitis Pigmentosa; Läkare, Professorer, Universitet eller Sjukhus och/eller personer som är i samma situation som jag. Läkarnas diagnos är : Progredierande retinal degenerativ sjukdom.

Health Topics A-Z Search 1Up Health Retinitis pigmentosa Information Retinitis pigmentosa Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Alternative names : RP Definition : Retinitis pigmentosa is a progressive degeneration of the retina (part of the eye) which affects night vision and peripheral vision. Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Retinitis pigmentosa commonly runs in families. The disorder can be caused by defects in a number of different genes which have recently been identified. The cells controlling night vision, called rods, are most likely to be affected. However, in some cases, retinal cone cells are most damaged. The hallmark of the disease is the presence of dark pigmented spots in the retina As the disease progresses, peripheral vision is greadually lost. The condition may eventually lead to blindness , but this is usually not complete blindness. Signs and symptoms often first appear in childhood, but severe visual problems do not usually develop until early adulthood. The main risk factor is a family history of retinitis pigmentosa. It is an uncommon condition affecting about one in 4,000 people in the U.S.

Conditions and Diseases Retinitis Pigmentosa Retinitis pigmentosa is a rare genetic disease in which the light-sensitive retina of the eye slowly and progressively degenerates, eventually causing blindness. Causes Not much is known about the cause of retinitis pigmentosa, except that it is inherited. Sometimes the disease is dominant, meaning only one gene needs to come from a parent for the child to develop the disease. Other times the disease is X-linked, meaning that only one gene passed from the mother will cause the child to develop retinitis pigmentosa. Rods, the light-sensing cells of the retina that are responsible for vision in low amounts of light, gradually deteriorate so seeing at night and in low levels of light becomes more difficult. Top Symptoms Early signs of retinitis pigmentosa are worsening night vision and a shrinking field of vision. This disease often begins in early childhood and worsens over time. During later stages of retinitis pigmentosa, a small area of central vision remains, along with slight peripheral vision. Top Most Common Treatments Retinitis pigmentosa has no treatment or cure, although some doctors believe that vitamin A may slightly delay vision loss. Occupational therapy may be wise before much of vision is lost. It may be easier to learn how to work around vision loss while vision is still available. New treatments are currently under investigation. Check with your eye care doctor to find out more about which might work for you.

Forschung Contra Blindheit - Initiative Usher-Syndrom e.V. Deutsch Content Donate Money Get Free Infos ... Summary Retinitis Pigmentosa This term describes not one disease but a group of hereditary diseases of the retina. The retina is the light sensitive tissue inside the eye in which the first stages of 'seeing' take place. With RP the retina slowly degenerates and loses its ability to transmit pictures to the brain. In advanced stages characteristic clumps of pigment appear on the retina and can be seen through an ophthalmoscope. Symptoms Night blindness The first symptom to appear in RP is night blindness; this may also be coupled with difficulty in adapting to bright light or rapidly changing light conditions. Difficulty with dark adaptation can occur in childhood, and although it may be noticed it is seldom attributed to RP, but rather clumsiness, stupidity or even lack of carrots. Narrowing of Field Vision In one form of retinal degeneration the rod cells which lie on the periphery of the retina gradually lose function and fail to transmit information about changes in light levels and shapes of objects on the periphery. This loss of visual field or Tunnel Vision , as this is commonly known, means that the individual loses his or her ability to locate objects which are not directly in front, so that for instance, he may still be able to read the bus timetable but unable to locate the bus station without help.

Forschung Contra Blindheit - Initiative Usher-Syndrom e.V. English Inhaltsverzeichnis Spenden Mitgliedschaft ... Zusammenfassung Die Sehbehinderung Retinitis Pigmentosa Der Begriff Retinitis Pigmentosa beschreibt nicht nur eine Augenkrankheit, sondern eine Gruppe von Erbkrankheiten der Augennetzhaut. Die Netzhaut ist der Teil des Auges, in dem die vom Licht empfangenen Eindrücke in Nervensignale umgesetzt werden und in welchem die ersten Stadien des "Sehens" stattfinden. Bei RP degeneriert die Netzhaut (Retina) langsam und sie verliert ihre Fähigkeit, dem Gehirn Bilder zu vermitteln. Im fortgeschrittenen Stadium erscheinen charakteristische Pigmentflecken auf der Retina. Die sind bei der Augenspiegelung sichtbar. Nachtblindheit Die Netzhaut (Retina) ist die innerste Schicht des Augapfels und enthält zwei Arten von Sehzellen, die Stäbchen und Zapfen. Bei RP , dieser Netzhautdegeneration verlieren die Stäbchen an der Peripherie der Netzhaut ihre Funktion folglich ist die Informationsübertragung über veränderte Lichtverhältnisse und über die genaue Form von Gegenständen an der Peripherie mangelhaft. Diese horizontale Einengung des Gesichtsfeldes oder "Tunnelsehens", wie dies öfter genannt wird, bedeutet, daß eine Person die Fähigkeit verliert, Gegenstände genau zu lokalisieren, die nicht genau vor ihr sind. Sie verliert den Überblick Dieselbe Person kann z.B. den Busfahrplan noch sehr gut lesen während sie Schwierigkeiten haben wird, alleine die Bushaltestelle zu finden.

92. Retinitis Pigmentosa Early Detection of retinitis pigmentosa Can Mean Wider Lifestyle Choices. Retinitispigmentosa develops inside the pigmented layer of the retina. http://www.scco.edu/ecc/eyeconditions/RetPig.htm

Early Detection of Retinitis Pigmentosa Can Mean Wider Lifestyle Choices Retinitis pigmentosa, or RP, is the name given to one of a group of diseases which affect the retina of the eye. It is estimated that 400,000 Americans are affected by RP and other RP like inherited retinal degenerations. Some of the most common symptoms of RP include night blindness and loss of peripheral (side) vision. Symptoms of RP often appear for the first time during the childhood or adolescent years. Stumbling over objects which seem to be in plain sight and "clumsiness" may be the first indications of a problem. The symptoms of RP generally worsen over a period of years. Although some RP patients with advancing age may become blind, most will retain at least some vision, and are classified as "legally blind". Each individual case differs. Retinitis pigmentosa develops inside the pigmented layer of the retina. The retina is a delicate layer of cells that acts like the film in a camera. It picks up a picture and transmits it to the brain – where "seeing" actually occurs. Two types of cells in the retina that participate in sending visual messages to the brain are the rod and cones. The rod-shaped cells are mostly used to help you see "out of the corners of your eyes" (peripheral vision) and to see at night. The cone-shaped cells enable you to distinguish colors, see during the day and help you see with your central vision. When RP begins, the rod-shaped cells begin to lose their ability to function. As a result, people with this condition frequently have trouble seeing at night or in areas of dim light. It should be noted that poor and decreased night vision alone is not necessarily an indicator of retinitis pigmentosa.

93. Retinitis Pigmentosa retinitis pigmentosa. DESCRIPTION A group of diseases which resultin the degeneration of the retina; cause is unknown, but suspected http://www.spedex.com/resource/documents/veb/retinitis_pigmentosa.html

RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA TREATMENT: There is no known treatment for R.P. There is considerable research effort in this direction. Monitoring of retinal degeneration (locus and rate of change) via ERG and ophthalmoscopy of widest retinal periphery. A variety of optical aids may be effective (e.g., magnifiers if fields are not severely restricted, hand telescopes, CCTV, and "pocketscopes" - infra-red devices for highs use). Prism lenses may be useful. Higher levels of illumination may be helpful. IMPLICATIONS: GENETIC COUNSELING IS ESSENTIAL. Functional vision evaluations may need to be "as needed" (rather than annually). Identification of the type of R.P. is essential in establishing prognosis. Retinal specialists are usually better qualified to examine the widest area of the retina viewable. Regular eye exams are desirable, to track the rate and degree of deterioration.

Retinitis Pigmentosa Retinitis pigmentosa showing the typical bone spicules pigmentary changes. There are multiple bone-spicules hyperpigmentation in the peripheral retina. In advanced cases, the posterior pole is also involved. The retinal vessels are attenuated and the optic disc is pale. The macula may show cellophane, atrophic or cystoid maculopathy. The condition is bilateral. Other features to look for: drusen in the optic disc cells in the vitreous cataract typically posterior subcapsular cataract keratoconus trabeculectomy (3% of RP develop glaucoma) Look for associated features which may provide clue to diagnosis: hearing aids (Usher's syndrome but beware that patients with syphilis or congenital rubella may also have deafness and pigmentary changes in the retina) Questions: 1. Which conditions may simulate retinitis pigmentosa? Answer Infections: syphilis, congenital rubella, resolving herpes retinitis, treated cytomegalovirus retinitis Drug toxicities such as mellaril, chloroquine and chlopromazine Resolved exudative retinal detachment such as seen in malignant hypertension Blunt trauma 2.

Retinitis Pigmentosa The retina lies in the back of the eye and is a multi-layered tissue which detects visual images and transmits them to the brain. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) refers to a group of related diseases which tend to run in families and cause slow but progressive loss of vision. In retinitis pigmentosa, there is gradual destruction of some of the nervous sensors in the retina. The first symptoms usually occur in youth or young adulthood, although it may be first seen at any age. Retinitis pigmentosa causes night blindness and loss of side vision. In normal persons, the visual system adjusts to darkness after a short period of time. People with night blindness adjust to darkness very slowly, or not at all. Due to the loss of side vision (peripheral vision) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, mobility becomes more difficult. Most forms of retinitis pigmentosa are inherited. Different patterns of heredity are associated with different degrees of progression. An attempt to know more about how severely the disease has affected other family members may help predict how a specific person might ultimately be afflicted, though variability exists within each family. Such knowledge is also helpful in making decisions about such things as marriage, family and occupation. In general, there is no specific treatment. Recent research suggests that some patients may benefit from certain kinds of vitamin therapy. But these studies are not conclusive. Much research is directed toward solving this problem. Periodic examinations by an eye doctor are advised.

RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA I t is degenerative disease of retina, which causes diminished night vision. Later on, there is reduced side vision but blindness is rare. The disease progresses slowly. Cause Cause of the disease is still unknown. It is mainly due to damage of retinal cells. Mostly the disease is hereditary. The most common inheritance is recessive. It means the gene should come from both the parents though they may not be affected. Other form is sex linked in which females are carriers. So genetic counseling is required to prevent the disease in next generation. Fundus picture of Retinitis Pigmentosa Diagnosis Typical retinal pigments as seen by ophthalmoscope are diagnostic of retinitis pigmentosa. Some times night blindness may be present without retinal features. In these cases Electroretinogram and electrooculogram done to assess retinal function may help in diagnosis. Treatment No effective treatment is available till date to cure or improve the vision. However Vitamin A Palmate 15000IU taken per day is said to slow the progress of disease. However it must be taken under physician supervision because of its toxicity in long run.
