Unilateral keratoconus associated with iridocorneal endothelial syndrome: Case report

We report a rare association of unilateral keratoconus (KC) and iridocorneal endothelial syndrome in a 34-year-old female. Slit-lamp examination showed advanced KC with faint apical scarring in her right eye. The pupil was superiorly displaced with superior peripheral anterior synechia. Specular mic...

description We report a rare association of unilateral keratoconus (KC) and iridocorneal endothelial syndrome in a 34-year-old female. Slit-lamp examination showed advanced KC with faint apical scarring in her right eye. The pupil was superiorly displaced with superior peripheral anterior synechia. Specular microscopy showed abnormal endothelium with low endothelial cell count in the right eye. Corneal topography confirmed the unilateral KC diagnosis. As the patient did not tolerate hard contact lens, penetrating keratoplasty with pupilloplasty was performed with excellent outcome.
