Formas de retinoblastoma: hereditarias y no hereditarias

Diagrama de las dos formas de desarrollo del retinoblastoma: una forma familiar (ahora llamada “forma hereditaria”, a la izquierda y una ”forma esporádica” (ahora llamada ”forma no hereditaria”) a la derecha. En la forma hereditaria, se transmite al niño un gen RB1 mutado (en azul), y solo se necesita una mutación adicional en el alelo normal emparejado (en rojo) para desarrollar el tumor. En la forma no hereditaria, el gen RB1 puede mutar de novo en la línea germinal de la descendencia (no se muestra en esta figura) para luego comportarse como en la forma hereditaria, o una célula precursora de la retina puede adquirir una mutación RB1 en ambos alelos creando así un tumor de retinoblastoma.

Presentación Clínica

  • Signos cardinales:
    • Leucocoria
    • Estrabismo
  • Signos y síntomas menos comunes:
    • Disminución de la visión
    • Inflamación ocular
    • Hemorragia vítrea
    • Glaucoma Glaucoma Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy characterized by typical visual field defects and optic nerve atrophy seen as optic disc cupping on examination. The acute form of glaucoma is a medical emergency. Glaucoma is often, but not always, caused by increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Glaucoma
    • Anisocoria Anisocoria Unequal pupil size, which may represent a benign physiologic variant or a manifestation of disease. Pathologic anisocoria reflects an abnormality in the musculature of the iris (iris diseases) or in the parasympathetic or sympathetic pathways that innervate the pupil. Physiologic anisocoria refers to an asymmetry of pupil diameter, usually less than 2mm, that is not associated with disease. Pupil: Physiology and Abnormalities

Diagnóstico

  • Referencia urgente al AL Amyloidosis oftalmólogo
  • Exploración oftalmoscópica bajo anestesia, con ultrasonido

  • Se recomiendan pruebas genéticas.

Tratamiento y Pronóstico

Tratamiento

Diagnóstico Diferencial

El diagnóstico diferencial incluye cualquier afección que pueda causar leucocoria.

  • Vasculatura fetal persistente: fracaso del vítreo primario embrionario y del sistema vascular hialoides para involucionar durante la gestación. El pronóstico visual es malo.
  • Retinopatía del prematuro: es un trastorno ocular potencialmente cegador que afecta principalmente a los LOS Neisseria bebés prematuros. El trastorno es causado por la neovascularización con vasos anormales y frágiles debido a los LOS Neisseria factores de crecimiento liberados por los LOS Neisseria vasos retinianos periféricos desarrollados de forma incompleta. Los LOS Neisseria vasos sangran con facilidad y causan cicatrices. La mayoría de los LOS Neisseria casos de retinopatía del prematuro son leves.

  • Toxocariasis Toxocariasis Toxocariasis is caused by the nematodes Toxocara canis and T. cati. These species frequently infect dogs and cats and are most commonly transmitted to humans via accidental ingestion of eggs through the fecal-oral route. Toxocara are not able to complete their life cycle in humans, but they do migrate to organs (including the liver, lungs, heart, brain, and eyes), where they cause inflammation and tissue damage.
