  • Title: Bilateral Atypical Granular Corneal Dystrophy Associated with Unilateral Keratoconus in a Male Child.
    Author: Dangra KL, Das M, Periasamy S, Prajna NV.
    Journal: Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol; 2016; 23(3):262-4. PubMed ID: 27555713.
    Abstract:
    A 14-year-old male presented with decreased vision. Slit lamp examination indicated multiple anterior corneal stromal opacities with clear intervening spaces accompanied with superficial subepithelial lines arranged in a quasi-whorl-like fashion bilateral with greater prominence in the right eye. Corneal steepening associated with thinning was noted only in the right eye. Genetic analysis confirmed a mutation suggestive of granular corneal dystrophy. Here, we describe a rare case of an atypical granular dystrophy associated with unilateral keratoconus in a male child.
