Corneal endothelial cell abnormalities in an early stage of the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome.

Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome.

A 19 years boy with a 2 years history of reduced and fluctuating vision along with change in pupillary shape and iris colour in his left eye presented to the glaucoma clinic. Ocular examination revealed distinct unilateral stretch holes, iris architecture changes and localized iris atrophy. Intraocular pressure was 16 mmHg in the right and 36 mmHg in the left eye. Gonioscopy of the left angle r...

Confocal microscopy in the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome.

AIMS To report the appearances of iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome from real time, white light confocal microscopy. METHODS Three consecutive patients, each with ICE syndrome, were examined prospectively. Corneal specular and confocal microscopic examinations were performed in all three patients. In the first patient, a penetrating keratoplasty was performed and the cornea was examined...

Bilateral iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome with microspherophakia.

Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome is described to be a rare, usually unilateral ocular condition in young females. There are three known overlapping clinical variants of this condition namely, essential iris atrophy, Cogan-Reese and Chandler syndrome. We report a case of bilateral iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome with microspherophakia. A 25 years old female presented with microspheropha...

Diagnosis and Management of Iridocorneal Endothelial Syndrome

The iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome is a rare ocular disorder that includes a group of conditions characterized by structural and proliferative abnormalities of the corneal endothelium, the anterior chamber angle, and the iris. Common clinical features include corneal edema, secondary glaucoma, iris atrophy, and pupillary anomalies, ranging from distortion to polycoria. The main subtype...
