Pili torti-developmental delay-neurological abnormalities syndrome is characterized by growth and developmental delay, mild to moderate neurologic abnormalities, and pili torti. It has been described in a brother and his sister born to consanguineous Puerto Rican parents.

A rare genetic cerebral small vessel disease characterized by isolated marked tortuosity of second-order and third-order retinal arteries with normal first-order arteries and venous system, typically located in the macular and peripapillary area and developing during childhood or early adulthood. The disease may be asymptomatic, although most patients present variable degrees of transient vision loss due to retinal hemorrhage following physical exertion or minor trauma.
