  • Title: Combined corneal lipid and calcium degeneration in a dog with hyperadrenocorticism: a case report.
    Author: Laus JL, dos Santos C, Talieri IC, Oriá AP, Bechara GH.
    Journal: Vet Ophthalmol; 2002 Mar; 5(1):61-4. PubMed ID: 11940251.
    Abstract:
    Corneal degeneration may occur with a deposition of lipids or calcium, or both. Calcareous and lipid degeneration may be either primary or secondary, associated with systemic diseases such as primary hyperlipidemia, hyperlipidemia associated with hyperadrenocorticism, and hypothyroidism. The authors report a case of bilateral corneal lipid and calcium degeneration in a 7-year-old female Poodle with hyperadrenocorticism. The condition worsened with Lysodren therapy but responded to surgical excision.
