[Endothelial changes in posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy].
Posterior polymorphous dystrophy of the cornea (Schlichting) was found in a 51-year-old male. In addition, the patient had a cerulean cataract and myopia. The PPD, which was thought to have been caused by endothelial degeneration, exhibited extremely variable expressivity. Of the patient's 3 children only the 19-year-old son, who is also myopic, has cerulean cataract; on specular microscopic examination he was also found to be suffering from endothelial changes.
