Small y otros (p. 9) se propusieron identificar las mutaciones que causan la distrofia macular de Carolina del Norte (NCMD). Identificaron 5 extrañas mutaciones, cada una de las cuales es capaz de detener el desarrollo de la mácula humana. Cuatro de dichas mutaciones implican la importante participación del gen PRDM13 en el desarrollo macular y, aunque sigue sin conocerse aún el mecanismo fisiopatológíco de la quinta mutación, es posible que se relacione con el desarrollo de disregulación del IRX1.

A 77-year-old man presented with painless, progressive, proptosis and diminution of vision in the right eye of 30 years duration. Examination of the right eye (OD) revealed (A) no light perception, proptosis with inferior displacement of the globe, a dilated and fixed pupil, and pallor of the optic disc. (B) Computed tomography of the orbit demonstrated an osteolytic lesion centered in the frontal process of zygomatic bone. On biopsy the lesion showed (C) epithelial cells in a cord-like arrangement with small, round, nuclei and abundant vacuolated cytoplasm.

A 6-year-old boy presented with light perception vision and an afferent pupillary defect in the right eye. Dilated fundus examination disclosed large, dilated, and tortuous vessels (Fig 1A). Optical coherence tomography showed intraretinal and subretinal fluid (Fig 1B, arrow) along the maculopapillary bundle. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed right optic canal/orbital apex enhancement (Fig 1C, arrow) and small serpiginous vessels with flow-voids along the posterior orbit (Fig 1D, arrow). Ophthalmologic and neuroradiologic findings were consistent with Wyburn-Mason syndrome – a congenital, sporadic, unilateral, asymptomatic disorder without racial or gender predilection characterized by retinal/intracranial arteriovenous malformations.
