Franceschetti-Cvalena Syndrome

Franceschetti-Zwalena syndrome is a rare disease characterized by progressive loss of vision and weakness of the eye muscles. This disease was named after two Swiss ophthalmologists - Arnold Franceschetti and Paul Zwalena.

Franceschetti was a famous ophthalmologist who worked in Switzerland and Germany. He was known for his work on eye diseases, especially cataracts. Tsvalena was also an ophthalmologist, but worked in Switzerland. He was involved in glaucoma research.

Franceschetti-Zvalena syndrome manifests itself as a progressive decrease in vision and weakness of the eye muscles. Patients may have difficulty reading, writing, and handling small objects. Headaches and eye fatigue may also occur.

Treatment for Franceschetti-Zwalena syndrome includes surgery to remove cataracts or glaucoma and medication to reduce intraocular pressure. However, since this is a rare disease, treatment can be difficult and patients may require constant monitoring and treatment.



Franceschetti-Zwahlen Syndrome is a rare hereditary disease that manifests itself in the form of deformation of the skull and face. It was first described in 1950 by Swiss ophthalmologists Francesco Franceschetti and Paul Zwalena.

The syndrome is characterized by deformation of the skull and facial bones, which can be expressed to varying degrees. The most common manifestations are an enlarged head, facial deformation, narrow eye slits, small ears and nose, and problems with teeth and jaws.

Treatment of the syndrome includes surgery to correct cranial and facial deformities, as well as the use of orthopedic structures to correct abnormalities of the teeth and jaws. However, despite all efforts, many patients with Franceschetta-Zwallena syndrome have serious developmental disabilities and require ongoing medical care and support.

Overall, Franceschetta-Zwalena syndrome is a serious illness that requires a comprehensive approach to treatment and support from medical professionals and the patient's family.
