Fuchs dystrophy, also Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, is a rare pathology of the eye that may be seen in Descemet's membrane specimens.
General
- Uncommon.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Gutta.
- Accumulation of collagenous material from the basement membrane.
- Decreased endothelial density.[2]
- Thickening of Descemet's membrane.[3]
