Abstract
- Macular corneal dystrophy is a heredo-familial disease inherited as an autosomal recessive trait and characterized by corneal opacities due to localized mucopolysaccharidosis. One case of macular corneal dystrophy was reported by Cho et al in Korea in 1976, but it was a case without a family history. We report 3 cases of macular corneal dystrophy with a family history including more specific histopathologic findings and the review of available literatures.
