چکیده
The clinicopathologic features ofchandler’s syndrome are elucidated based on a study of nine patients. Keratoplasty, trabeculectomy and/or iris specimens were studied by light, electron and, in six cases, specular microscopy. The prominent pathologic features were abnormalities of the endothelially-derived cells lining the posterior cornea1 surface, the inner surface of the trabecular meshwork, and the anterior iris surface. In all four cornea1 buttons, the endotheliurn was diffusely attenuated and focally absent, and posterior collagen layers were present. Extension of the endothelial cell layer and Descemet’s membrane deposition over the trabecular meshwork were observed in two trabeculectomy specimens, and similar proliferation onto the anterior surface of the iris was evident in four iris specimens. Other abnormalities of the endothelial cells included increased intracytoplasmic filaments. These pathologic alterations are consistent with the concept of Chandler’s syndrome as representing one variant of the iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome. Interestingly, although both endothelial proliferative and degenerative responses can be observed in Chandler’s syndrome, their occurrence within the same eye is apparently not simultaneous.

Clinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
Assessment of the peripapillary nerve fiber layer and macular thickness can be determined in ophthalmology using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Decreased nerve fiber layer thickness and macular ganglion cell thickness in optic nerve ischemia have been correlated with visual field loss. OCT allows deep optic nerve head evaluation which helps understand pathophysiology of diseases. Furtherm...
