Iridocorneal-endothelial syndrome: presentation of a case
Keywords:
iridocorneal-endothelial syndrome, iris atrophy, proliferative endotheliopathy.Abstract
The iridocorneal-endothelial syndrome comprehends three syndromes that when they appear in their pure forms are relatively easy to distinguish; but more frequently it appears considerably sneaked, making it difficult to stablish a clear definition. It is a nosological entity very uncommon in the consultation of Oftalmology of the Clinica-surgical Teaching Hospital Comandante Faustino Perez Hernandez, of Matanzas. That motivated the presentation of this case. It deals with a female patient, aged 47 years, assisting the consultation of the before mentioned hospital in January 2012, carrying a unilateral iridocorneal-endothelial syndrome in the right eye, with a visual acuity of 20/20, iris atrophy, corectopia, pseudopolychoria and secondary glaucoma with remarked ocular hypertension. She was subject of a trabeculectomy as a surgical procedure, with a satisfactory evolution.
