  • Title: [Familial congenital dystrophy of the corneal stroma: Turpin's syndrome (author's transl)].
    Author: Pouliquen Y, Lacombe E, Schreinzer C, Giraud JP, Savoldelli M.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 1979 Feb; 2(2):115-25. PubMed ID: 312637.
    Abstract:
    In 1939, R. Turpin and al. described cases of hereditary and congenital corneal opacities in three generations of one family. The members of this family have since been followed-up regularly by the author, examination of the corneas of the grandmother and the grand'daughter made by electron microscopy, the morphology compared, and an attempt made to establish the progression of the lesion. It so happened that at the same time, witschel and al. published (June, 1978) the results of their examination of the American members of the same family. Their conclusions were the same, in that this familial congenital dystrophy of the cornea is mainly stromal and differs therefore from familial congenital endothelial dystrophies. The author's analysis is complementary to theirs.
