Corneal ectasia secondary to peripheral endotheliopathy in a patient with classic pars planitis

PURPOSE To report a case of corneal ectasia secondary to pars planitis corneal endotheliopathy METHODS Clinical case description and proposed hypothesis regarding development of corneal ectasia RESULTS Eight-year-old male presented with 360° peripheral corneal endotheliopathy and edema, granulomatous keratic precipitates, and mild iritis OD. A progressive corneal ectasia then developed. Twenty months later, OS presented similarly and anterior chamber inflammatory cells, vitreous snowballs, and retinal vasculitis were observed OU. Classic pars planitis was diagnosed CONCLUSION This is the first case of endotheliopathy as the first manifestation of pars planitis and as a cause of a secondary central cornea ectasia developed.
