Unilateral 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 کاملSimultaneous Presence of Macular Corneal Dystrophy and Retinitis Pigmentosa in Three Members of a Family
Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease. In most cases, various mutations in carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6 (CHST6) gene are the main cause of MCD. These mutations lead to a defect in keratan sulfate synthesis. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is another eye disorder with nyctalopia as its common symptom. It has been shown that more than 65 genes have been implica...
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...
متن کامل[A familial case of keratoconus with corneal granular dystrophy].
We report a familial case of keratoconus with corneal granular dystrophy. The mother and first son have both keratoconus and corneal granular dystrophy and the second son has keratoconus alone. The keratoconus in this family is thought to be an autosomal dominant or an X-linked inheritance pattern. Granular dystrophy is an autosomal dominant inheritance. This familial case suggests that the gen...
متن کاملAsymmetrical Corneal Topography in Map-Dot-Fingerprint Dystrophy Resembling Keratoconus
Map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy cause painless blurred vision due to irregular astigmatism. Corneal topography may show asymmetry and irregularity and can resemble keratoconus. Two patients with map-dot dystrophy with unilateral blurring of vision are presented that were misdiagnosed as keratoconus due to asymmetric corneal topography. Medical treatment with hypertonic saline and lubrication in o...
