Abstract
BERBES VILLALON, Elvira; GONZALEZ DELGADO, Rosa Idalmis and MASSO DUVERGER, Norvelis. Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome: report of a case. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2011, vol.33, n.4, pp. 523-527. ISSN 1684-1824.
We present a clinical case from the municipality Cristobal Rojas, Miranda State, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, with the diagnostic of iridocorneal endothelial syndrome (the iris essential atrophy) in a male patient, with a good evolution, only controlled with ocular hypotensors. This syndrome is observed mainly in the female genre, and it is a little frequent entity, not only among the ophthalmologic diseases but also among the glaucoma group. It has a very bad prognosis.
Keywords : iridocorneal endothelial syndrome; pseudopolycoria; corectopia.
