Wolfram syndrome is an extremely rare condition composed of a tetrad of diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness. When concurrently presenting with another condition, such as tuberculous meningitis, the widespread range of resulting symptoms delays the establishment of diagnosis and treatment, which results in increased patient morbidity.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Optic Neuritis Subtypes From Ocular Fundus Photographs.

J Neuroophthalmol

Division of Ophthalmology (EB-S, AS, AA-A, AS-B, DW, SS, FC), Department of Surgery, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada; Department of Biomedical Engineering (CN), University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada; Departments of Neurology (LBDL) and Ophthalmology (LBDL), University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan; and Department of Clinical Neurosciences (SS, FC), University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada.

Background: Optic neuritis (ON) is a complex clinical syndrome that has diverse etiologies and treatments based on its subtypes. Notably, ON associated with multiple sclerosis (MS ON) has a good prognosis for recovery irrespective of treatment, whereas ON associated with other conditions including neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease is often associated with less favorable outcomes. Delay in treatment of these non-MS ON subtypes can lead to irreversible vision loss.

Morbidities and comorbidities associated with optic nerve hypoplasia and septo-optic-pituitary dysplasia.

Dev Med Child Neurol

January 2025

Department of Community Health Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Aim: To quantify optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) and septo-optic-pituitary dysplasia (SOD) morbidities and comorbidities.

Method: A retrospective population-based study with a case-control design was undertaken using administrative health data from Manitoba, Canada. Cases were 124 patients with ONH or SOD (70 males, 54 females; age range 6 months-36 years 8 months [mean 13 years, SD 7 years 2 months]) diagnosed from 1990 to 2019, matched to 620 unrelated population-based controls (350 males, 270 females; age range 0-36 years 8 months [mean 12 years 5 months, SD 7 years 2 months]) on birth year, sex, and area of residence.

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), a leading complication of diabetes mellitus, has long been considered as a microvascular disease of the retina. However, recent evidence suggests that DR is a neurovascular disease, characterized by the degeneration of retinal neural tissue and microvascular abnormalities encompassing ischemia, neovascularization, and blood-retinal barrier breakdown, ultimately leading to blindness. The intricate relationship between the retina and vascular cells constitutes a neurovascular unit, a multi-cellular framework of retinal neurons, glial cells, immune cells, and vascular cells, which facilitates neurovascular coupling, linking neuronal activity to blood flow.
