Corneal Dystrophy, Meesmann Epithelial
Corneal Dystrophy, Meesmann Epithelial (Meesmann Epithelial Dystrophy of Cornea)
General: Autosomal dominant; rare; onset first year of life; possible that a disturbance of the cytoplasmic ground substance results in cellular homogenization with cyst formation.
Ocular: Myriads of fine punctate opacities in epithelium and Bowman membrane of cornea; thickening of the epithelial basement membrane of cornea; keratoconus.
Clinical: None.
