Get to Know All About Stem Cell Therapy for Optic Nerve HYPOPLASIA
Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a congenital condition, under this condition the optic nerve suffers underdevelopment. ONH vision deficiency varies from moderate to extreme, and one or both eyes may be impaired. In both unilateral and bilateral cases, nystagmus (shaking of the eyes) can be observed. With ONH, the frequency of strabismus is greater. Central nervous system (CNS) malformations that place the patient at risk for other issues, including seizure disease and developmental delay, may be associated with optic nerve hypoplasia. In most infants, hormone deficiencies emerge, regardless of related midline brain abnormalities or MRI pituitary gland abnormalities. Actually, the majority of kids with growth hormone deficiency have a regular MRI.
Optic Nerve Hypoplasia Stem Cell Treatment in Delhi
Do you Know about Optic Nerve Hypoplasia?
- In 70 percent -80 percent of the cases, optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) occurs and is typically the first presenting characteristic accompanied by hormonal abnormalities. There may also be other eye abnormalities, such as nystagmus and microphthalmia.
- Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH), pituitary hypoplasia and midbrain anomalies such as absence of septum pellucidum and corpus collasum agenesis are characterized by septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), also known as de Morsier Syndrome
- Global Stem Cell Care has been providing the best of treatment to the patients who are suffering from this condition, and through the stem cell treatment, their symptoms have also improved.
- Only stem cell treatment is the cure for this condition as it helps to replace the damaged cells. Global Stem Cell Care has the best team that works for the effective treatment of this medical condition.
- From global retardation through focal deficits such as epilepsy or hemiparesis, neurological dysfunction is prevalent. Vision loss is often induced by traumatic optic neuropathy, optic neuritis and ischemic optic neuropathy, but is typically not associated with other disorders.

Diagnosis of Optic Nerve Hypoplasia
During a dilated eye exam, the diagnosis of ONH is normally made by the presence of the small/pale optic nerve. Visual acuity potential based on the appearance of the optic nerve is hard to predict. The majority of ONH cases have no clearly defined cause. When developing ONH, there are no known ethnic or socioeconomic causes, nor is there a known correlation with pesticide exposure. Maternal ingestion of phenytoin, quinine, and LSD, as well as fetal alcohol syndrome, have been associated with ONH. The best hospitals for stem cell treatment are present in Delhi. Global Stem Cell Care is the best stem cell treatment provider in India.

- Currently, no one knows the exact causes of optic nerve hypoplasia. In most cases, it appears at random.
- There is evidence, though, that a specific gene mutation may be associated with optic nerve hypoplasia.
- However, the correlation seems to be minor, as the majority of those with optic nerve hypoplasia do not have these gene mutations.
- Some researchers hypothesize that optic nerve hypoplasia could result from vascular disruption. Vascular disruption refers to temporarily disrupting an unborn baby’s blood flow, which can cause developmental delays and congenital disabilities.
Risk factors that have been associated with optic nerve hypoplasia include:
- First trimester bleeding
- Maternal smoking
- Young maternal age
- Maternal diabetes
- Preterm labor
- First pregnancy
- Low maternal weight gain or maternal weight loss
- Use of recreational drugs during pregnancy
- Use of some medications during pregnancy

Gene Therapy
Researchers used gene therapy to regenerate damaged axons in the eye, in a discovery that could aid the development of new treatments for optic nerve hypoplasia. One of the major benefits of gene therapy is also that the removal of problematic genes from the body of future parents also removes any chances of their future baby being afflicted by the same condition. Moreover, as time progresses and technology gets advanced, gene therapy is becoming more effective and safer.
Nutrition Therapy
Medical Nutrition treatment (MNT) is a helpful approach to treat ailments and their related side effects by the utilization of an explicitly customized diet defined and observed by a master. The treatment focuses on fixing dietary wasteful aspects and physiological awkward nature in order to give the most ideal condition to the immature microorganisms to grow suitably, just as improving the patient’s general well-being.-

Implantation
1. Global Stem Cell Care has the best stem cell therapy for Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. The implantation stage is of utmost importance during the stem cell treatment.
2. Hypoplasia of the optic nerve (ONH) arises due to the underdevelopment of the optic nerve that carries synaptic signaling to the brain from the retina throughout the eye. Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), also known as de Morsier syndrome, is a subtype of ONH which results from optic nerve underdevelopment, pituitary gland dysfunction, and the lack of a midline region of the brain, septum pellucidum.
3. SOD results from abnormalities during fetal embryological development and studies indicate that gene defects as well as embryo susceptibility to infections can be linked with ONH. Global Stem Cell Care ensures you get the best stem cell therapy in Delhi, India.
4. SOD also causes other signs such as pituitary deficiency, autistic tendencies, epileptic seizures and more in addition to the loss of vision that is a hallmark symptom of ONH.
For the patients living with ONH-SOD, there are few traditional treatment options available, which primarily concentrate on helping patients deal with their impairment. None of them, though, are currently treating optic nerve function loss. In the optic nerve hypoplasia stem cell, these cells will help you to recover from the condition you are suffering from and have the ability to replace nerve cells, enabling people with ONH-SOD to gain more vision.
The following is the structure that is followed during the implantation stage:
Mechanism
For the treatment of Optic Nerve Hypoplasia , the stem cells that are used are the Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). Global Stem Cell Care has been successfully executing optic nerve hypoplasia stem cell treatment on patients with expert care and precautions. Following is the mechanisms of stem cell transplantation for Optic Nerve Hypoplasia in Delhi, India.
For around 10 years, Mesenchymal Stem Cells have been used to treat ONH and SOD (de Morsier Syndrome).These stem cells, depending on their various special characteristics, can enhance vision through the following mechanisms:
The capacity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into neural cells and to secrete neurotrophic factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factors (GDNF), which may promote the differentiation of grafted cells into neural cells, prevent apoptosis, enhance angiogenesis, suppress inflammatory infiltrates and sustain grafted cells.
These pathways not only help to maintain vision, they also help to greatly enhance vision loss by optic nerve and retinal ganglion cell regeneration.
The stem cells are inserted into the retrobulbar space by IV, lumbar puncture and/or injection to do so. The aim of this mix is to more accurately reach the infected regions.

Most patients with Optic nerve disorders suffer from, optical acuity, visual field, light sensitivity, night vision, strabismus, and nystagmus, therapies using MSCs demonstrated good progress. In comparison, therapy with stem cells has led to a substantial slowdown in vision deterioration in patients with advanced conditions.
Stem cell-treated patients with optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) and septo-optic dysplasia (de Morsier Syndrome) typically observe changes in the following areas:

Follow Up Follow Up
The follow-up is the most critical step in which the doctors determine the patient’s health. The treatment of Optic Nerve Hypoplasia cannot be done without follow-up. The patient needs to come to visit, according to the doctor’s advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
For all children with hypoplasia of the optic nerve, an MRI scan is recommended. For all patients within five years of age, assessment by an endocrinologist should be mandatory.
ONH is a stable and non-progressive disease in general, which does not deteriorate. Vision can gradually increase and over time, nystagmus may decrease.
There is no cure for ONH by medicinal or surgical means. Occlusion of the better-seeing eye, however can enhance vision in the other eye. Children with severe loss of vision in both eyes can benefit from low vision specialists’ early supportive attention. Treatment with stem cells has not been proven to be successful for ONH.
Treatment also includes a team of practitioners, including pediatricians, ophthalmologists, neurologists, endocrinologists and other health care providers, to organize their activities. Hormone abnormalities, often driven by endocrinologists, are treated with hormone replacement therapy. Vision defects, however are typically not treatable in both ONH and SOD patients, while low vision patients may seek support.
