Abstract

We present a clinical case from the municipality Cristobal Rojas, Miranda State, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, with the diagnostic of iridocorneal endothelial syndrome (the iris essential atrophy) in a male patient, with a good evolution, only controlled with ocular hypotensors. This syndrome is observed mainly in the female genre, and it is a little frequent entity, not only among the ophthalmologic diseases but also among the glaucoma group. It has a very bad prognosis.
