Diseases leading to corneal opacities are inflammations, infections, metabolic causes, trauma, or genetically determined diseases. Corneal dystrophies may lead to corneal blindness. A clinical and pathological review of 2,108 corneal specimens received from December 1983 to January 1988 revealed 86 (4%) corneal specimens with corneal dystrophies. Fifty-three (62%) patients had macular dystrophy, 11 (13%) had congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED), 12 (14%) had Fuchs' corneal dystrophy, 5 (6%) had lattice corneal dystrophy, and 3 (4%) had granular dystrophy. Macular dystrophy appears to be the most common cause of corneal dystrophy in Saudi Arabia. Twenty-two (42%) patients with macular dystrophy and 10 (91%) patients with CHED were the result of consanguineous marriages. Genetic counseling is advisable among families who carry the trait of CHED or macular corneal dystrophy.
导致角膜混浊的疾病包括炎症、感染、代谢原因、外伤或遗传性疾病。角膜营养不良可能导致角膜盲。对1983年12月至1988年1月收到的2108份角膜标本进行的临床和病理检查显示,有86份(4%)角膜标本存在角膜营养不良。53例(62%)患者患有斑点状营养不良,11例(13%)患有先天性遗传性内皮营养不良(CHED),12例(14%)患有富克斯角膜营养不良,5例(6%)患有格子状角膜营养不良,3例(4%)患有颗粒状营养不良。斑点状营养不良似乎是沙特阿拉伯角膜营养不良最常见的原因。22例(42%)斑点状营养不良患者和10例(91%)CHED患者是近亲结婚的结果。对于携带CHED或斑点状角膜营养不良特征的家庭,建议进行遗传咨询。
