1. Retinal Dystrophy: Treatment for retinal dystrophy depends on the type of dystrophy and the severity of the condition. Treatment may include laser therapy, photodynamic therapy, and/or surgery.

2. Optic Nerve Edema: Treatment for optic nerve edema may include corticosteroids, diuretics, and/or anticonvulsants.

3. Splenomegaly: Treatment for splenomegaly may include antibiotics, antiviral medications, and/or surgery.

4. Anhidrosis: Treatment for anhidrosis may include topical creams, oral medications, and/or lifestyle changes.

5. Migraine Headache Syndrome: Treatment for migraine headache syndrome may include medications, lifestyle changes, and/or alternative therapies.
