Abstract
Hemorrhagic Destruction of the Brain, Subependymal Calcification, and Congenital Cataracts (HDBSCC) is a rare syndrome caused by biallelic mutations in the JAM3 gene with significant intrafamilial variability in clinical presentation and brain imaging phenotypes. The clinical presentation of HDBSCC includes severe recurrent hemorrhages involving the brain parenchyma and the ventricles beginning in utero and continuing in infancy together with dense central cataracts present at birth. This comprehensive review documents reported cases on this unique condition and describes its genetic, neuroradiologic and ophthalmic features. It should be included in the differential diagnosis of children with congenital cataracts and neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Unique clinical, imaging findings and genetic testing can help the diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
Eye and Brain is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal focusing on basic research, clinical findings, and expert reviews in the field of visual science and neuro-ophthalmology. The journal’s unique focus is the link between two well-known visual centres, the eye and the brain, with an emphasis on the importance of such connections. All aspects of clinical and especially basic research on the visual system are addressed within the journal as well as significant future directions in vision research and therapeutic measures. This unique journal focuses on neurological aspects of vision – both physiological and pathological. The scope of the journal spans from the cornea to the associational visual cortex and all the visual centers in between. Topics range from basic biological mechanisms to therapeutic treatment, from simple organisms to humans, and utilizing techniques from molecular biology to behavior. The journal especially welcomes primary research articles or review papers that make the connection between the eye and the brain. Specific areas covered in the journal include: Physiology and pathophysiology of visual centers, Eye movement disorders and strabismus, Cellular, biochemical, and molecular features of the visual system, Structural and functional organization of the eye and of the visual cortex, Metabolic demands of the visual system, Diseases and disorders with neuro-ophthalmic manifestations, Clinical and experimental neuro-ophthalmology and visual system pathologies, Epidemiological studies.
