title: [Acute corneal endothelial cell loss].
abstract: Corneal endothelial cell loss may result from endogenic causes, such as acute angle-closure glaucoma, or exogenic causes, such as corneal contusion, corneal perforation or surgery involving the anterior chamber. The extent of endothelial cell loss varies with the severity of trauma. Despite the different causes the response of the corneal endothelium is always an endothelial cell loss. Corneal endothelial decomposition may result from an acute endothelial cell loss.
