Acute idiopathic corneal endotheliitis.
Ophthalmology 1984 October
Seven patients presenting with acute corneal stromal edema without prior surgery, trauma, ocular disease or known exposure to noxious agents are reported. One patient had a severe iridocyclitis; two others subsequently developed herpetic keratouveitis. Four cases, however, were unassociated with other known ocular disease. All four of these patients exhibited keratic precipitates and displayed minimal or no flare and cells in the anterior chamber, although the latter was largely obscured by the corneal edema. In each of these four instances, the inflammation and corneal edema resolved following topical corticosteroid therapy. In two of the four cases, both children, antibody to Herpes simplex virus could not be identified. We suggest that, in patients without known prior corneal disease or trauma, acute diffuse corneal stroma edema may stem from severe iridocyclitis or a primary endotheliitis due either to herpetic infection, the recently described presumed autoimmune corneal endotheliopathy, or a condition which we herein designate acute idiopathic corneal endotheliitis.
