  • Title: Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy of Schlichting. A clinical study on four families.
    Author: Hansen TE.
    Journal: Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh); 1983 Jun; 61(3):454-60. PubMed ID: 6605017.
    Abstract:
    Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy of Schlichting was studied in 4 families. Nine persons were found with the typical lesions. Two families suggested a dominant mode of inheritance, in one of these with a penetrance less than 100%. There were 2 sporadic cases. No corneal oedema was present, and the central corneal thickness showed normal values, which means that the corneal endothelium in this dystrophy is able to maintain a normal hydrated cornea.
