Histochemistry of corneal granular dystrophy.
Since the introduction by Jones and Zimmerman (I 959, I 96 I) of a reliable histological scheme for the separate recognition of each of the three major categories of corneal stromal dystrophy, the way has been open for precise characterization of the nature of the lesions in each of these conditions. This has been largely accomplished for the macular and lattice dystrophies, the former having b...
متن کاملCorneal electrolysis for recurrence of corneal stromal dystrophy after keratoplasty.
AIMS To evaluate corneal electrolysis as a treatment for recurrent diffuse corneal opacities at the host-graft interface of the stroma or at the subepithelial region in two types of granular corneal dystrophy (GCD). METHODS Recurrence developed at the host-graft interface of the stroma after lamellar keratoplasty in a patient with Avellino corneal dystrophy (ACD). At surgery, the deep aspect ...
متن کامل[A familial case of keratoconus with corneal granular dystrophy].
We report a familial case of keratoconus with corneal granular dystrophy. The mother and first son have both keratoconus and corneal granular dystrophy and the second son has keratoconus alone. The keratoconus in this family is thought to be an autosomal dominant or an X-linked inheritance pattern. Granular dystrophy is an autosomal dominant inheritance. This familial case suggests that the gen...
متن کاملBilateral central anterior stromal opacity of the cornea: dystrophy or degeneration?
PURPOSE To describe a bilateral, central, oval corneal opacity not resembling any known corneal degeneration or dystrophy. METHODS Ophthalmic examination, corneal topography, and pachymetry. RESULTS A 30-year-old woman presented complaining of blurred vision. Biomicroscopic examination revealed bilateral, centrally located, oval, diffuse opacification of the anterior corneal stroma. Corneal...
متن کاملMitomycin C induces apoptosis in cultured corneal fibroblasts derived from type II granular corneal dystrophy corneas
PURPOSE The present study investigated the effect of mitomycin C (MMC) on cell viability, apoptosis, and transforming growth factor beta-induced protein (TGFBIp) expression in cultured normal corneal fibroblasts and heterozygote or homozygote granular corneal dystrophy type II (GCD II) corneal fibroblasts. METHODS Keratocytes were obtained from normal cornea or from heterozygote or homozygote...
