Congenital endothelial corneal dystrophy
The hereditary corneal dystrophies are remarkable in that only rarely do sufficient opacifications exist at birth or appear during infancy to merit both the prefix "congenital", i.e. a disturbance present at birth, and "dystrophy", i.e. a disturbance developing on a hereditary basis in apparently normal tissue. The term as used has referred to a bilateral symmetrical diffuse opacification of th...
متن کاملFuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy: current perspectives.
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common corneal dystrophy and frequently results in vision loss. Hallmarks of the disease include loss of corneal endothelial cells and formation of excrescences of Descemet's membrane. Later stages involve all layers of the cornea. Impairment of endothelial barrier and pump function and cell death from oxidative and unfolded protein stress ...
متن کاملSLC4A11 mutations in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy.
The endothelial (posterior) corneal dystrophies, which result from primary endothelial dysfunction, include Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD), posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD) and congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED). Mutations in SLC4A11 gene have been recently identified in patients with recessive CHED (CHED2). In this study, we show that heterozygous mut...
متن کاملUnilateral corneal endothelial dystrophy and anterior keratoconus.
PURPOSE To describe a case of keratoconus and Fuchs' corneal endothelial dystrophy in the left eye with no corneal disease in the right eye. METHODS A 64-year-old woman presented with visual impairment in her left eye; computer-assisted topographic analysis and specular microscopy were performed in both eyes and left cornea was histopathologically examined. RESULTS Keratoconus was diagnosed...
متن کاملFirst Identification of a Triple Corneal Dystrophy Association: Keratoconus, Epithelial Basement Membrane Corneal Dystrophy and Fuchs’ Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
PURPOSE To report the observation of a triple corneal dystrophy association consisting of keratoconus (KC), epithelial basement membrane corneal dystrophy (EBMCD) and Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). METHODS A 55-year-old male patient was referred to our cornea service for blurred vision and recurrent foreign body sensation. He reported bilateral recurrent corneal erosions with di...
