Abstract

Examination of the ultrastructure of cases of spotty corneal dystrophy (Groenouw II) showed polymorphous results in various layers of the cornea. Inclusions of acidic mucopolysaccharides occur in membrane surrounded storage granules and also in the free state. The results from sections of the central and peripheral regions are extraordinarily variable. The present investigations showed for the first time, that numerous vesicular inclusions can occur also in the boundary region between the stroma and Descemet's membrane.
