Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome: a case report
Keywords:
DeCS, Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome, Iris diseases.Abstract
Introduction: the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome is a constellation of non-hereditary disorders, generally unilateral and of progressive evolution, which more frequently present in young and middle-aged women. It is one of a group of secondary types of glaucoma of corneal cause, and it can start with a acute glaucoma, although the patient may previously have noticed alteration in the iris or the cornea.
Clinical case: a 49-year-old patient presented to the Pinar del Río Province Glaucoma Department with painful blind right eye, iris atrophy, polycoria and secondary glaucoma with marked ocular hypertension. After being jointly evaluated in the Ophthalmology Service, the patient was diagnosed with the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome.
Conclusions: the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome is more frequently manifested in the female sex. It is a little frequent entity among the ophthalmologic diseases and among the glaucoma group it is of very low visual prognosis. It is necessary to carry out more studies permitting to obtain greater evidences about this syndrome. The adequate evaluation of these patients is vitally important, for early diagnosis and timely treatment.
