“…Corneal endothelium plays an important role in maintaining corneal transparency and its abnormality or dysfunction results in corneal edema. Ocular trauma, surgeries, Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, iridocorneal endothelial syndromes (ICE), stromal keratitis, and endotheliitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of corneal edema [2,[4][5][6][7][8]. In our case, the absence of any ocular trauma or surgery, no signs of cornea guttae, and a normal specular microscopic examination in the fellow eye, and the lack of iris findings and typical specular findings for ICE syndrome in the left eye, led us to the diagnosis of endotheliitis of viral origin.…”

ÖzetKorneal endotelit, sıklıkla viral orijinli olan ve primer olarak kornea endotelinin iflamasyonunun gözlendiği bir hastalıktır. Bu olgu sunumunda ön kamara reaksiyonunun gözlenmediği sadece tek taraflı yaygın korneal ödem ile giden atipik herpetik korneal endotelitli bir olguyu sunuyoruz. Anahtar KelimelerKorneal Ödem; Endotelitis; HSV Abstract Corneal endotheliitis; frequently caused by viruses, is a disorder in which corneal endothelium is the primary site of the inflammation. We discuss a case of atypical herpetic endotheliitis presented with unilateral diffuse corneal edema with no signs of anterior chamber reaction.

“…Наибольшую распространённость [11,18] среди генетически детерминированных эндоте-лиальных дистрофий имеет эндотелиальная дис-трофия роговицы Фукса. Впервые в 1910 году ав-стрийский офтальмолог Е. Fuchs описал редкое в то время заболевание под названием «эпите-лиальная дистрофия роговицы» [19].…”

The article reviews the literature on the classification of endothelial-epithelial dystrophy (EED) of the cornea. The description of endothelial structure, etiology and pathogenesis of the corneal EED are described. Based on own multiple observations and modern methods of corneal tissue imaging, a new modification of the EED classification by V.V. Volkov and M.M. Dronov was created and is presented in the article. This classification makes it possible to more accurately determine the etiopathogenesis of changes in corneal layers and to choose a most rational and effective treatment method.

“…Review of several studies done in North America identified Fuchs' corneal dystrophy as the second most common www.jors.js.iknito.com indication for keratoplasty (15%) ranking second after pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) (38%) [17][18][19] . Significant proportion of patients with Fuchs dystrophy remain compensated for life and will benefit from cataract surgery to improve their vision, hence the need to minimize further damage on their corneas during cataract surgeries.…”
