Overview
The complications of albinism include skin cancer, sunburn, decreased visual acuity, poor self-image and self-isolation lead to depression. Patients with albinism has a normal life expectancy and do not have developmental delay or mental retardation.
Complications
- The complications of albinism are as follows:[1][2][3]
- Skin cancer including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma
- Sunburn
- Decreased visual acuity
- Poor self-image and self-isolation that may lead to depression
- Individuals with albinism are at increased risk of attention deficit disorder
- Bleeding disorders in patients with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome
- Infection risk in Chediak-Higashi syndrome
Prognosis
- Patients with albinism has a normal life expectancy
- Albinism does not cause developmental delay or mental retardation
- Patients may have delayed visual maturation [6]
