Pars planitis is typically diagnosed based on a specialized eye examination. During the exam, the ophthalmologist will typically see clusters of white blood cells trapped within the eyeball that are called snowballs (or "inflammatory exudate").
Below is an instruction from Human. Write a response. ### Instruction: What are the treatments for Pars planitis ? ### Response: How might pars planitis be treated? The first approach to treating pars planitis is corticosteroid eye drops or injections near the eye to control inflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, including aspirin) or steroid medications (such as prednisone) can be taken by mouth.

It happens when parts of the spinal cord and nerves come through the open part of the spine. It causes nerve damage and other disabilities. Seventy to ninety percent of children with this condition also have too much fluid on their brains (hydrocephalus).
Below is an instruction from Human. Write a response. ### Instruction: What are the treatments for Myelomeningocele ? ### Response: How might myelomeningocele be treated? A child with meningomyelocele usually has surgery to close the myelomenigocele shortly after birth. This prevents infections and helps save the spinal cord from more damage.[5181] Children who also have hydrocephalus may need a ventricular peritoneal shunt placed.

Write a response. ### Instruction: What is (are) Thiamine responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome ? ### Response: Thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome is a very rare condition characterized by hearing loss, diabetes, and a blood disorder called megaloblastic anemia. Affected individuals begin to show symptoms of this condition between infancy and adolescence.
Below is an instruction from Human. Write a response. ### Instruction: What are the symptoms of Thiamine responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome ? ### Response: What are the signs and symptoms of Thiamine responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome? The Human Phenotype Ontology provides the following list of signs and symptoms for Thiamine responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome. If the information is available, the table below includes how often the symptom is seen in people with this condition.

The Human Phenotype Ontology provides the following list of signs and symptoms for Hamanishi Ueba Tsuji syndrome. If the information is available, the table below includes how often the symptom is seen in people with this condition.

Write a response. ### Instruction: What is (are) Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy ? ### Response: Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (AVMD) is an eye disorder that can cause progressive vision loss. AVMD affects an area of the retina called the macula, which is responsible for sharp central vision. The condition causes a fatty yellow pigment to accumulate in cells underlying the macula, eventually damaging the cells.

Write a response. ### Instruction: What are the symptoms of Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy ? ### Response: What are the signs and symptoms of Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy? Signs and symptoms of adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy typically begin during mid-adulthood, in the fourth or fifth decade of life. At the time of diagnosis, individuals may have minimal visual symptoms (such as mild blurring) or mild metamorphopsia (distorted vision).
Below is an instruction from Human. Write a response. ### Instruction: What causes Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy ? ### Response: What causes adult-onset vitelliform dystrophy? Historically, adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (AVMD) was defined as a genetic disorder; however, recent studies have concluded that only a minority of cases have an identified genetic cause, suggesting that there might be other underlying causes of environmental origin, genetic origin, or a mix of genetics and environment (multifactorial).
Below is an instruction from Human. Write a response. ### Instruction: Is Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy inherited ? ### Response: How is adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy inherited? The majority of cases with an identified family history or genetic cause are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. This means that in order to be affected, a person only needs a change (mutation) in one copy of the responsible gene in each cell.
Below is an instruction from Human. Write a response. ### Instruction: What are the treatments for Adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy ? ### Response: How might adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy be treated? Management for this condition should include a comprehensive eye examination, including dilation, once or twice a year to rule out any possible complications. If vision is impaired, patients should be referred for low vision testing and rehabilitation.

Write a response. ### Instruction: What is (are) Familial amyloidosis, Finnish type ? ### Response: Familial amyloidosis, Finnish type, or gelsolin amyloidosis, is a condition characterized by abnormal deposits of amyloid protein that mainly affect the eyes, nerves and skin. The 3 main features are amyloid deposits in the cornea (corneal lattice dystrophy), bilateral facial paralysis, and cutis laxa ("sagging" skin).
Below is an instruction from Human. Write a response. ### Instruction: What is (are) Chromosome 8q deletion ? ### Response: Chromosome 8q deletion is a chromosome abnormality that occurs when there is a missing copy of the genetic material located on the long arm (q) of chromosome 8. The severity of the condition and the signs and symptoms depend on the size and location of the deletion and which genes are involved.
