Corneal Topography Analysis of Stromal Corneal Dystrophies
OBJECTIVE The aim was to compare the corneal topography and tomography parameters of macular corneal dystrophy (MCD), granular corneal dystrophy (GCD) and lattice corneal dystrophy (LCD) patients obtained by Scheimpflug imaging system. METHODS The charts, photographs and topography images of patients were reviewed retrospectively. This study included 73 eyes of 73 patients (28 MCD, 20 GCG and...
متن کاملCorneal stromal dystrophies: a clinical pathologic study.
INTRODUCTION Corneal dystrophy is defined as bilateral and symmetric primary corneal disease, without previous associated ocular inflammation. Corneal dystrophies are classified according to the involved corneal layer in superficial, stromal, and posterior dystrophy. Incidence of each dystrophy varies according to the geographic region studied. PURPOSE To evaluate the prevalence of stromal co...
متن کاملCorneal dystrophies
The term corneal dystrophy embraces a heterogenous group of bilateral genetically determined non-inflammatory corneal diseases that are restricted to the cornea. The designation is imprecise but remains in vogue because of its clinical value. Clinically, the corneal dystrophies can be divided into three groups based on the sole or predominant anatomical location of the abnormalities. Some affec...
متن کاملCell proliferation and apoptosis in stromal corneal dystrophies.
The aim of our study was to evaluate corneal cell proliferation and apoptosis in cases of granular, macular and lattice dystrophy, and to provide evidence which may help to clarify whether apoptosis is a pathogenic factor in any of these dystrophies. The study group comprised 39 eyes (from 33 patients) which had undergone penetrating keratoplasty (PK) for stromal dystrophies: these comprised 12...
متن کاملConfocal microscopy of corneal dystrophies.
In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) of the cornea is becoming an indispensable tool in the cellular study of corneal physiology and disease. This technique offers non-invasive imaging of the living cornea with images comparable to that of ex vivo histology. The ability to provide high-resolution images of all layers in the living cornea has resulted in new discoveries of corneal pathology at the...
