摘要

Dear Editor,I ridocorneal endothelial syndrome(ICE)is a rare,usually unilateral,acquired condition,hypothesized to be secondary to a viral etiology[1].It affects females more often than males and comprises of three distinct clinical types related to endothelial proliferation and its structural abnormalities.Proliferation of endothelium over the iridocorneal angle leads to progressive secondary angle closure and that over the iris leads to typical changes of polycoria and atrophy.Three clinical entities included in the syndrome are Chandlers(predominant corneal involvement),progressive iris atrophy(predominant iris involvement with polycoria and‘holes’)and Cogan Reese(iris nodules with loss of stromal features).No matter what the clinical type,it is a progressive condition and controlling intraocular pressure(IOP)and maintaining corneal clarity in the long term is usually a challenge.
