Bilateral Very Thick Corneas and Short Stature

مقدمه :Increased central corneal thickness is associated with many congenital and acquired disorders. There are studies which suggest that genes have a strong role in determination of corneal thickness. This correlation is more detectable in extreme values of the corneal thickness. هدف : In this case report, we describe a young woman with short stature, brachydactyly and bilateral very thick and steep corneas with central corneal thicknesses (CCTs) thicker than ۶۵۰µm and simulated keratometries (Sim-Ks) of higher than ۵۰ diopeters. معرفی بیمار : Refraction of the right eye and the left eye were -۵.۲۵-۵.۷۵*۱۲۱ and -۴.۵-۶*۵۹ and the best-corrected visual acuities were ۰.۳ and ۰.۲ (byLogMar), respectively. On slit lamp examination the corneas seemed totally clear without any evidence of focal or diffuse epithelial or stromal edema and no guttata could be detected. On Sirius topographies of the patient, a bilateral small horizontal visible iris diameter (HVID) of ۱۰.۵۶ and ۱۰.۴۶mm accompanied with high anterior elevation was noted. Endothelial microscopies of the patient consisting of the endothelial cell densities and morphologies were normal.
