A recessive familial degeneration initially affecting Bowman's membrane and then the surface epithelium and stroma. It commences in the first decade of life as a diffuse subepithelial opacification, with patches of greater density, and gradually increases in intensity, especially centrally, until, about the age of 30, little vision remains. 3, record 4, English, - macular%20corneal%20dystrophy

Cette dystrophie touche essentiellement le stroma qui est le siège d'opacités nuageuses floues, blanc sale, correspondant à des accumulations de mucopolysaccharides. Cependant, les études ultrastructurales ont montré que la Descemet présentait des excroissances localisées, semblables à celles de la guttata mais contenant des mucopolysaccharides. Les cellules endothéliales, elles-mêmes, présentent la même anomalie métabolique que les kératocytes, avec des vacuoles remplies de mucopolysaccharides. 1, record 4, French, - dystrophie%20maculaire
