CASTILLO PEREZ, Alexeide de la C. et al. Posterior polymorphous dystrophy: A case presentation. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2008, vol.21, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

The case of a female 15 years-old patient with a history of myopia, who went to the physician´s office for an ametrophy checkout, was presented in this paper. The biomicroscopic examination revealed small white/gray-coloured irregular and diffuse opacities at the level of Descement´s membrane and of the endothelium. A complete ophthalmological examination was performed including visual acuity, refraction, corneal topography, pakimetry, keratometry, biometry and in vivo confocal microscopy of the cornea. Finally, posterior polymorphous dystrophy was diagnosed.
