Corneal elastosis within lattice dystrophy lesions.
Corneal buttons of two patients with lattice corneal dystrophy were studied by light and electron microscopy. They showed elastotic degeneration within the amyloid deposits. The amyloid deposits displayed characteristic staining; the elastotic material (elastin) within the deposits stained positive with Verhoeff-van Gieson and Movat pentachrome stains and showed autofluorescence. The characteri...
متن کاملCorneal lesions in myotonic dystrophy.
Myotonic dystrophy is a disorder ofparticular interest to ophthalmologists since some degree of cataract is almost universal and being manifest early in the course of the disease may first bring the patient to seek medical advice. Other ocular signs include ptosis, blepharitis, extraocular muscle palsies, macular or more widespread retinal disturbance, and (rarely) corneal lesions (Junge, I966)...
متن کاملLattice corneal dystrophy: a source of confusion.
Published descriptions of families with lattice dystrophy of the cornea reveal a much more varied clinical course and a more pleomorphic corneal picture than the rather stereotyped textbook descriptions would suggest. This report describes a family with lattice dystrophy of unusually late onset with retention of useful vision into the 7th decade. Herpes simplex keratitis was misdiagnosed in 5 m...
متن کاملMeretoja's Syndrome: Lattice Corneal Dystrophy, Gelsolin Type
Lattice corneal dystrophy gelsolin type was first described in 1969 by Jouko Meretoja, a Finnish ophthalmologist. It is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in gelsolin gene resulting in unstable protein fragments and amyloid deposition in various organs. The age of onset is usually after the third decade of life and typical diagnostic triad includes progressive bilateral facial paralysis, ...
متن کاملA novel mutation I522N within the TGFBI gene caused lattice corneal dystrophy I
PURPOSE To identify mutations within the TGFBI gene in a Chinese family with lattice corneal dystrophy type I (LCD I). METHODS Genomic DNA of three affected, four unaffected family members and 50 normal individuals was extracted from peripheral leukocytes. All exons of TGFBI were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods and direct sequencing was carried out for mutation analysis. ...
