Anterior keratoconus associated with unilateral cornea guttata

J K Darlington et al. Cornea. 2001 Nov.

Abstract

Purpose: To describe a 30-year-old man with bilateral but asymmetric anterior keratoconus and unilateral cornea guttata in the eye with more advanced keratoconus.

Method: Case report.

Results: The patient's keratoconus was diagnosed three or four years earlier. The keratoconus was confirmed by slit-lamp examination, keratometry, and computer-assisted topographic analysis. Cornea guttata were confirmed by clinical examination and specular microscopy.

Conclusion: This is a rare case of unilateral cornea guttata associated with asymmetric keratoconus, showing severe guttate change only in the eye with more advanced keratoconus.
