Iridoschisis is a rare condition that consists of the separation of the anterior mesodermic layer of the iris. It is associated with glaucoma in 50% of cases. The association of this disorder with luetic interstitial keratitis has been reported rarely. We report the case of a 58-year-old patient who had unilateral iridoschisis associated with glaucoma and syphilitic interstitial keratitis. We suggest that congenital syphilis might be considered as a cause of iridoschisis.
虹膜劈裂症是一种罕见病症,由虹膜前中胚层层分离构成。50%的病例与青光眼有关。这种病症与梅毒性间质性角膜炎的关联鲜有报道。我们报告一例58岁患者,其患有与青光眼和梅毒性间质性角膜炎相关的单侧虹膜劈裂症。我们建议先天性梅毒可被视为虹膜劈裂症的一个病因。
