  • Title: [Corneal endothelial decompensation of iridocorneal endothelial syndrome treated by penetrating keratoplasty].
    Author: Chen J, Liu Z, Yu L.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yan Ke Za Zhi; 1996 Jul; 32(4):264-6. PubMed ID: 9590841.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of penetrating keratoplasty in treatment of iridocorneal endothelial syndrome. METHODS: The clinical and pathologic evaluation records were retrospectively analyzed for 8 cases with iridocorneal endothelial syndrome treated by penetrating keratoplasty. Postoperatively, they were followed for 3 months to 6 years. RESULTS: Seven cases had visual improvement, five buttons kept being transparent and three buttons became opaque. CONCLUSIONS: The penetrating keratoplasty is an effective measure for treatment of corneal endothelial decompensation of iridocorneal endothelial syndrome. However, the successful operative rate of this syndrome is lower than that in cases with corneal leucoma without vascularization.
