title: [On the so-called inferior, sickle-shaped edematous corneal dystrophy (author's transl)].
abstract: The inferior, sickle-shaped, edematous corneal dystrophy described by Bietti has not been further reported in the literature. A similar corneal lesion in a 44-year-old patient provided the stimulus to express some thoughts as to the etiology and pathogenesis of this form of dystrophy.
