  • Title: [Schnyder's crystalline dystrophy. II. Association with genu valgum].
    Author: Hoang-Xuan T, Pouliquen Y, Gasteau J.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 1985; 8(11):743-7. PubMed ID: 3879611.
    Abstract:
    The present study describes a family in which Schnyder's crystalline stromal dystrophy coexisted with genu valgum. One member, a woman, exhibited only the corneal dystrophy. She underwent a bilateral corneal graft and the buttons studied by light and electron microscopy were described in another report. Her daughter exhibited only genu valgum and her son had both disorders. It is to our knowledge the fourth report on the combination of Schnyder's dystrophy and genu valgum in the same family. The significance of this association and other associations like hyperlipoproteinaemia and xanthelasma are discussed.
