[Results of specular microscopy in 5 cases of the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome].

Five cases of iridocorneal endothelial syndrome have been examined with grand angle specular microscope. The first case presented normal appearance unlike the second case which showed diminution of the cellular density with 1.060/mm2 in comparison with 3,487/mm2 in the fellow eye. Pleomorphism and irregular size of endothelial cells associated with excrescences were noted in case 3 and 4. No endothelial cell could be observed in case 5: the authors introduce the possibility that time changes in corneal endothelium could be masked by a predescemetic membrane.
