To investigate the treatment of retinopathy of incontinentia pigmenti by anti-vascular endothelial growth factor. Retrospective study of 5 patients(8 eyes) diagnosed retinopathy of incontinentia pigmenti from 2005 to 2017, including 0 males and 5 females (8 eyes involved) with an average age of 2.4 months(range, 1-5 months). Medical history and family history were recorded in detail for all children. We did the examination of anterior segment of the eyeball, vitreous body,fundus and intraocular pressure for the 5 patients(8eyes).What's more,wo also took pictures for fundus with the machine of Retcam. Fundus fluorescence angiography (FFA) was performed in 2 patients(4 eyes). Different surgical methods were selected according to the specific conditions of the eye and postoperative were observed. At the time of initial diagnosis, preretinal hemorrhage did not affect the macular region in 3 cases (5 eyes), pre retinal hemorrhage affected the macular region in 1 case(1 eye), the retinal neovascularization in 3 cases(5 eyes), the retinal detachment in 2 cases(2 eyes), and nonvascular zone of peripheral retinal in 5cases(8 eyes). Treatment and drug selection: 3 cases(5 eyes) were treated with injection anti-VEGF drug into vitreous body cavity, 1 case(1 eye) was treated with injection anti-VEGF drug into vitreous body cavity plus laser photocoagulation, 1 case(1 eye) was treated with anti-VEGF drugs plus vitrectomy. 1 case(1 eye) was treated with anti-VEGF drugs plus retinal cryotherapy and sclera bucking. In patients of injection anti-VEGF drug into vitreous body cavity, 2 cases(3 eyes) were given a single dose and 1 case (2 eyes) was given a repeated dose. Drug selection: 4 cases(6 eyes) ranibizumab injection (injection dose 0.025 ml), 1 case (2 eyes)conbercept injection (injection dose 0.025 ml). To follow-up date, etina was flat in 4 patients (7 eyes), epiretinal membrane in 2 patients(2 eyes), retinal detachment in 1 patient(1 eye). The efficacy of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor in the treatment of retinopathy of incontinentia pigmenti was prelininarily confimed.However,the optimal use timing,dosage,local and systemic safety issues were needed to be further studied. .

Article Synopsis
  • * Recent advancements in ocular genetics include identifying specific mutations, such as those in the EYS gene, which is often responsible for retinitis pigmentosa (RP), and exploring complex gene structures associated with other eye conditions.
  • * Effective genome medicine relies on accurate patient diagnosis, understanding genetic patterns, and providing thorough genetic counseling, emphasizing the importance of clear communication between healthcare providers and patients regarding genetic diseases.

Central nervous system anomalies in 41 Chinese children incontinentia pigmenti.

Article Synopsis
  • Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare genetic condition caused by a defect in the IKBKG gene, linked to brain injury from microvascular ischemia, with few treatment options available for its inflammatory phase.
  • A study analyzed data from 41 children with IP in Xi'an, China, focusing on clinical features, imaging, blood analysis, and genetics from 2007 to 2021.
  • Results showed that early signs include neurological damage and significant MRI abnormalities, with many patients exhibiting high eosinophil and platelet counts, indicating microvascular damage in both skin and brain during the acute phase of the condition.*

In this case report, we aim to illustrate a presentation of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) that closely resembles incontinentia pigmenti (IP) and the role of genetic testing that is of no cost to the patient in providing the correct diagnosis. We present a case of an 11-year-old female-to-male transgender patient with a history of hypodontia and skin hypopigmentation who was incidentally found to have a retinal lesion on ultra-widefield fundus imaging during routine screening. Ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography confirmed bilateral peripheral ischemic retinopathy that was successfully treated with laser.
