MEDICAL INFO definition and info ways to cope NETWORKING ... CONTACT US Stickler Syndrome (a summary by Bill Houchin) Stickler syndrome is a connective tissue disorder, a genetic malfunction in the tissue that connects bones, heart, eyes, and ears. This disorder is associated with problems of vision, hearing, bone and joint , facial and cleft palate, and heart. Stickler syndrome received its name from Dr. G. B. Stickler, who first studied and documented the syndrome. The term "syndrome" is derived from the Greek work "syn" meaning "together with" and the Greek word "drome" meaning "to run". A syndrome is a collection of specific symptoms, all with one cause. Dr. Stickler first studied this syndrome at Mayo Clinic in 1965. His paper titled "Hereditary Progressive Arthro-Ophthalmopathy" associated the severe sight deterioration with joint changes. Other doctors continued the study and have redefined Stickler syndrome to how we know it today. There are several sight problems that may occur to Stickler patients. Common problems include near sightedness, astigmatism, and cataracts, which can be treated with glasses or surgery. More serious problems include the gel which fills the eye deteriorating, the retina deteriorating, eyes moving independent of each other, and glaucoma. Any of these serious problems can lead to blindness. The hearing loss suffered by those who are affected will affect either the middle or inner ear. Deafness can result in the extreme cases.

Email: widesmiles@aol.com Sticklers Overview: I was given some information from a group called, "Sticklers Involved People" (SIP) concerning Sticklers Syndrome. Since it is a condition often associated with Pierre Robin (but not ALWAYS associated with PR) I thought it would be good to share it here. If your child has Pierre Robin, don't let this scare you. But if your child has Pierre Robin and any of this rings true, go to your doctor and ask them to screen for Sticklers. (In fact, every PR-affected child should be screened for Sticklers.) From the brochure, "Stickler Syndrome: What you Need to Know First!" "Stickler Syndrome is a genetic disorder which affects connective tissues, including the joints, eyes, palate, heart and hearing. This disorder is characterized by possible vision problems, hearing loss, early arthritis, cleft palate, and heart murmurs. "Because Stickler Syndrome is different in each person, it is very difficult to diagnose. All parts of the body do not have to be affected for the diagnosis of Stickler Syndrome to be given.

Return to Archive Syndromes Which Often Result in Combined Vision and Hearing Loss by Kate Moss, Family Training Specialist, TSBVI Outreach Usher Syndrome is one disorder that comes to mind readily for professionals in both the field of vision and hearing when they think of syndromes which result in dual sensory impairment or deaf-blindness. However, there are many syndromes that have both vision and hearing impairment as part of the conditions that define the syndrome. It is important to be aware of these conditions, since one of the sensory disabilities is often times more evident than the other. This situation makes it easy to overlook the impact of the combined vision and hearing loss. Below some of the more common syndromes, which can manifest with both vision and hearing loss, are described. If you are interested in obtaining more detailed information about any of these conditions, you may contact: National Organization for Rare Disorders P.O.
