  • Title: Unilateral iridoschisis associated with syphilitic interstitial keratitis and glaucoma.
    Author: Salvador F, Linares F, Merita I, Amen M.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1993 Sep; 25(9):328-9. PubMed ID: 8297067.
    Abstract:
    Iridoschisis is a rare condition that consists of the separation of the anterior mesodermic layer of the iris. It is associated with glaucoma in 50% of cases. The association of this disorder with luetic interstitial keratitis has been reported rarely. We report the case of a 58-year-old patient who had unilateral iridoschisis associated with glaucoma and syphilitic interstitial keratitis. We suggest that congenital syphilis might be considered as a cause of iridoschisis.
