POSTERIOR POLYMORPHOUS CORNEAL DYSTROPHY

Alternate names

POSTERIOR POLYMORPHOUS CORNEAL DYSTROPHY Is also known as schlichting dystrophy, corneal endothelial dystrophy 1, autosomal dominant, formerly, ppcd, ched1, formerly, posterior polymorphous dystrophy, maumenee corneal dystrophy, posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy, corneal dystrophy, hereditary polymorphous poster

Description

Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD) is a rare mild subtype of posterior corneal dystrophy (see this term) characterized by small aggregates of apparent vesicles bordered by a gray haze at the level of Descemet membrane, generally with no effect on vision.

Most common symptoms of POSTERIOR POLYMORPHOUS CORNEAL DYSTROPHY

  • Edema
  • Glaucoma
  • Photophobia
  • Corneal opacity
  • Falls

PILOMATRIXOMA

Alternate names

PILOMATRIXOMA Is also known as epithelioma calcificans of malherbe, pilomatricoma, ptr

Description

Pilomatrixoma is a rare and benign hair cell-derived tumor occurring mostly in young adults (usually under the age of 20) and characterized as a 3-30 mm solitary, painless, firm, mobile, deep dermal or subcutaneous tumor, most commonly found in the head, neck or upper extremities. When superficial, the tumors tint the skin blue-red. Multiple pilomatrixomas are seen in myotonic dystrophy, Gardner syndrome, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, and Turner syndrome (see these terms).

Most common symptoms of PILOMATRIXOMA

  • Neoplasm
  • Carcinoma
  • Neoplasm of the skin
  • Pilomatrixoma

CONGENITAL HEREDITARY ENDOTHELIAL DYSTROPHY TYPE I

Alternate names

CONGENITAL HEREDITARY ENDOTHELIAL DYSTROPHY TYPE I Is also known as autosomal dominant congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy, chedi, autosomal dominant ched, ched1, congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy type 1

Description

Congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy I (CHED I) is a rare subtype of posterior corneal dystrophy (see this term) characterized by a diffuse ground-glass appearance of the corneas and marked corneal thickening from birth or infancy without nystagmus, with blurred vision.
