Abstract
- Posterior polymorphous dystrophy is a bilateral, dominantly inherited (rarely recessively inherited) disorder of corneal endothelium, characterized by a spectrum of changes in posterior cornea and less commonly in the iris and angle structures. We have experienced a 39-year-old male patient complaining of visual disturbance in the right eye. On examination, we found characteristics of postenor polymorphous dystrophy which were Descemet's membrane thickening. peripheral anterior synechiae, iridocorneal adhesion. abnormal corneal endothelial cells in both eyes, and corneal epithelial and stromal edema in the right eye and after penetrating keratoplasty, the result was good. Therefore, we report a case of posterior polymorphous dystrophy with review of literatures.
