Posterior Polymorphous Corneal Dystrophy in a Patient with a Novel Gene Mutation.

Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD), a rare, bilateral, autosomal-dominant, inherited corneal dystrophy, affects the Descemet membrane and corneal endothelium. We describe an unusual presentation of PPCD associated with a previously unknown genetic alteration in the ZEB1 gene. The proband is a 64-year-old woman diagnosed with keratoconus referred for a corneal endothelium study who presented endothelial lesions in both eyes suggestive of PPCD, corectopia and iridocorneal endothelial synechiae in the right eye and intrastromal segments in the left eye.

Bilateral acute angle closure after venlafaxine intake in a young patient with a narrow iridocorneal angle.

We report a case of bilateral and acute angle closure after a single dose of antidepressant venlafaxine in a 40-year-old woman with no previous pathologies, who asked for consultation for blurred vision and pain in the left eye. Initial evaluation included visual acuity, slit lamp biomicroscopy and intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement using Goldmann's applanation tonometer. Gonioscopy and fundus examination were also performed in both eyes.
