  • Title: Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty for posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy in an 8-month-old boy.
    Author: Sella R, Rootman D, Bahar I.
    Journal: J AAPOS; 2013 Feb; 17(1):94-6. PubMed ID: 23313047.
    Abstract:
    Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) has recently become the preferred treatment for corneal endothelial dystrophies in adults. We describe the case of an 8-month-old boy with congenital corneal epithelial edema due to posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy who was treated successfully with bilateral DSAEK. This case shows that DSAEK is a treatment option for endothelial dysfunction secondary to posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy even in very young patients.
