Prognosis

The prognosis for renal coloboma syndrome depends primarily on the treatment the patient is receiving.

Renal failure or ESRD can occur at any age and the treatment modalities reserved for this condition are dialysis and renal transplantation. Formal longitudinal studies of visual prognosis have not been carried out.

The prognosis for renal coloboma syndrome is worse If there is presence of congenital anomalies in the patient. Like if the patient with renal coloboma syndrome has underlying concomitant congenital heart disease ( cyanotic) , anomalies with brain and spinal cord and esophageal atresia then the prognosis in this condition is bad.

Prognosis [ 9 ] The prognosis for vision depends on the severity and location of the coloboma (particularly in relation to the optic nerve, macula and maculopapular bundle) and on any complications such as retinal detachment or amblyopia. [patient.info]

Treatment and follow-up The visual prognosis in individuals with morning glory disc anomaly is poor. [aao.org]

Treatment and prognosis The main clinical problem for patients with COACH syndrome is progressive portal hypertension and liver failure. Treatment aims to reduce symptoms and prevent complications. [radiopaedia.org]
