As the disease progresses, the epithelial bullae can rupture, causing painfulcorneal abrasionsand poor vision. If this occurs or if Fuchs' dystrophy progresses to the point of causing significant vision loss, acornea transplantusually is needed. An alternative to a full-thickness corneal transplant ...
文章将主要对Fuchs角膜内皮营养不良的临床表现、分期分型、发病机制、遗传学、治疗等相关研究做一个综述.%Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a kind of hereditary disease characterized by progressive loss of corneal endothelial cells, thickening of Descement's membrane and deposition of ...
Fuchs uveitis syndrome is a chronic non granulomatous iridocyclitis characterized by posterior corneal opacities and iris discoloration. Due to the mild inflammatory response in the early stage, it is easy to be ignored, while in the later stage, it can cause serious complications that impair vis...
Synonyms Endo-epithelial corneal dystrophy; FECD Definition and Characteristics FECD is a bilateral, often asymmetric disorder that usually manifests after the fourth decade of life. However, several families have been described with disease onset consistently before 30 years of age (early-onset FECD...
Fuchs syn·drome (fūks), [MIM*136800] a syndrome characterized by corneal degeneration, heterochromia of the iris, iridocyclitis, keratic precipitates, and cataract; probably autosomal dominant inheritance. Synonym(s):Fuchs heterochromic cyclitis ...
cornea in a high degree of detail. This will allow your doctor to check for changes in the endothelium cells that signal the disease might be present. In early stages of the disease, the cells in the corneal endothelium and drop-like lesions called the corneal guttata will begin to decrease...
1.1. Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a common bilateral eye disease and a frequent cause of cornea-related blindness. The defining clinical sign of early disease is the presence of microscopic collagenous excrescences of corneal endothelial basement (De...
目的 分析Fuchs异色性虹膜睫状体炎患者的临床特征并探讨其并发症的临床治疗.方法 回顾性系列病例研究.选取1994年4月至2010年11月于青岛眼科医院就诊并且诊断为Fuchs异色性虹膜睫状体炎的患者101例(104眼),排除存在高血压、糖尿病、激素用药史、外伤等能引起眼部病变因素者,按年龄分为20～30...
Fuchs' dystrophy is an inherited eye disease that causes the cells in the last layer of the cornea to deteriorate, leading to distorted vision and corneal swelling. The exact cause of Fuchs' dystrophy is unknown, but is believed to be a combination of hereditary, hormonal and inflammatory ...
Boston, MA—Scientists have found that free radicals (unstable molecules that cause the death of cells as the body ages) may also cause the damage in the eyes of patients with Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD), a hereditary disease that is one of...
