AI Article Synopsis
- - Epithelial basement membrane corneal dystrophy is a rare condition that causes recurrent corneal erosions due to problems with the connection between the corneal epithelium and the basement membrane.
- - Historically, most studies have focused on the eye-related symptoms, while there has been less attention on the underlying pathology of the condition.
- - This text intends to provide a detailed description of the microscopy involved and to discuss both clinical and treatment aspects related to a specific case.
Article Abstract
Epithelial basement membrane corneal dystrophy is a rare entity, characterized by recurrent corneal erosions secondary to a disorder in the attachment of the corneal epithelium to the basement membrane. To date, mainly the ophthalmological aspect of cases has been reported, with little emphasis on the pathology of this lesion. Here we aim to describe the microscopy and discuss the clinical and therapeutic aspects of a case.
