Kayser-Fleischer ring. A pathological study.

چکیده
Although the brownish area at the corneal periphery in the region ofDescemet's membrane was first described by Kayser (I902), and Fleischer (I9I2) recognized it as a part of Wilson's disease (hepato-lenticular degeneration), there have been no previous reports in the ophthalmic literature of the United Kingdom of a pathological study of the lesion which is now recognized as a pathognomonic finding in this disease.
