Bilateral Chandler's syndrome: Uncommon entity diagnosed by ultrasound biomicroscopy and confocal microscopy
A 22-year-old female presented with bilateral, progressive diminution of vision. Slit-lamp examination revealed bilateral sectoral corneal edema. Gonioscopy showed broad-based peripheral anterior synechiae and a membrane obscuring angle structure in both the eyes. On ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM),...

Sumario: | A 22-year-old female presented with bilateral, progressive diminution of vision. Slit-lamp examination revealed bilateral sectoral corneal edema. Gonioscopy showed broad-based peripheral anterior synechiae and a membrane obscuring angle structure in both the eyes. On ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), a membrane extending from corneal endothelium to anterior iris surface causing traction was seen. Confocal microscopy showed an “epithelium-like” transformation of the corneal endothelium. This case demonstrates a bilateral Chandler variant of the iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome where the diagnosis of Chandler's disease was confirmed by confocal microscopy, after the mechanism of secondary angle closure was demonstrated by the UBM. |
