occular problems with white matter/abnormal retina/optic nerve

[Guest guest]

Hi Gretchen (and everybody)

Another question that may be linked to the modifications: I made a ERT

(electroretinograph)recently and obtained results that are not very assuring.

Once again: have you heard of CMT's with occular problems connected to white

matter modifications but also: are there cases with abnormal retina and/or optic

nerve without white matter being modified?

Does anyone (among ) suffer from similar problems?

Hi Roman,

I am not familiar with the ERT you mentioned. Persons with CMT can have

occular problems. Look at this site

http://www.neuro.wustl.edu/neuromuscular/time/hmsn.html then find the

Axonal column, look at HMSN + Optic Atrophy, also HMSN Type 6 (+ visual

loss) also HMSN + optic neuropathy + deafness. In the demylenating column,

look in the Recessive types for Juvenile Glaucoma and Cataracts. I'm sorry

I can't answer your question fully, I do not know about specific " cases "

and all relating to white matter.
