Corneal dystrophy, Fuchs endothelial, 1

A corneal disease caused by loss of endothelium of the central cornea. It is characterized by focal wart-like guttata that arise from Descemet membrane and develop in the central cornea, epithelial blisters, reduced vision and pain. Descemet membrane is thickened by abnormal collagenous deposition.

Pitt-Hopkins syndrome

A syndrome characterized by intellectual disability, wide mouth and distinctive facial features, and intermittent hyperventilation followed by apnea. Features include intellectual disability with severe speech impairment, normal growth parameters at birth, postnatal microcephaly, breathing anomalies, severe motor developmental delay, motor incoordination, ocular anomalies, constipation, seizures, typical behavior and subtle brain abnormalities.

Corneal dystrophy, posterior polymorphous, 3

A subtype of posterior corneal dystrophy, a disease characterized by alterations of Descemet membrane presenting as vesicles, opacities or band-like lesions on slit-lamp examination and specular microscopy. Affected patient typically are asymptomatic.

Deafness, autosomal dominant, 28

A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. DFNA28 is characterized by mild to moderate hearing loss across most frequencies that progresses to severe loss in the higher frequencies by the fifth decade.

Corneal dystrophy, posterior polymorphous, 1

A rare corneal disorder characterized by small aggregates of apparent vesicles bordered by a gray haze at the level of Descemet membrane, an altered corneal endothelial cell structure, and an unusual proliferation of endothelial cells. Symptoms can range from very aggressive to asymptomatic and non-progressive, even within the same family.

Keratoconus 1

Frequent corneal dystrophy with an incidence that varies from 50 to 230 per 100'000. The cornea assumes a conical shape as a result of a progressive non-inflammatory thinning of the corneal stroma. Keratoconus is most often an isolated sporadic condition with cases of autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive transmission.

Corneal dystrophy, Fuchs endothelial, 8

A corneal disease caused by loss of endothelium of the central cornea. It is characterized by focal wart-like guttata that arise from Descemet membrane and develop in the central cornea, epithelial blisters, reduced vision and pain. Descemet membrane is thickened by abnormal collagenous deposition.

Corneal dystrophy and perceptive deafness

An ocular disease characterized by the association of corneal clouding with progressive perceptive hearing loss.
