  • Title: Posterior polymorphous dystrophy associated with nonkeratoconic steep corneal curvatures.
    Author: Raber IM, Fintelmann R, Chhabra S, Ribeiro MP, Eagle RC, Orlin SE.
    Journal: Cornea; 2011 Oct; 30(10):1120-4. PubMed ID: 21760500.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report a case series of eyes with posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy and steep nonkeratoconic corneas. METHODS: Retrospective, descriptive, nonrandomized case series. RESULTS: Thirty-five eyes of 18 patients (14 cases from 6 families and 4 isolated cases) with diffuse posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy had mean topographic simulated keratometry readings of 52.21 diopters (D), with a range of 46.47 D to 59.86 D and an SD of 3.69 D, with no slit-lamp or topographic findings suggestive of keratoconus. CONCLUSIONS: The patients in this series demonstrate diffuse posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy and nonkeratoconic steep corneas.
