Keratoglobus in association with posterior polymorphous dystrophy.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of a 34-year-old woman presenting with keratoglobus and posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPMD).


METHODS
Observational case report including ophthalmologic examination, topographic findings, and specular microscopy findings.


RESULTS
This patient presented with corneal steepening on topography consistent with keratoglobus, as well as large areas of irregular polymorphous changes of the corneal endothelium on specular microscopy consistent with PPMD.


CONCLUSIONS
We report the first case with clinical features of both keratoglobus and PPMD. This report brings forth the description of keratoglobus findings on Orbscan topography.
