Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty for posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy in an 8-month-old boy

摘要

Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) has recently become the preferred treatment for corneal endothelial dystrophies in adults. We describe the case of an 8-month-old boy with congenital corneal epithelial edema due to posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy who was treated successfully with bilateral DSAEK. This case shows that DSAEK is a treatment option for endothelial dysfunction secondary to posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy even in very young patients. ? 2013 by the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus.
