  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 13-year-old girl presented with superficial punctate keratopathy in both eyes. The corrected visual acuity was 0.8 in both eyes. Numerous small vacuoles were present in the entire corneal epithelium.Impression cytology showed corneal epithelial cells stained with positive stain by PAS stain. Specular microscopy showed normal corneal endothelial cells. These findings led to the diagnosis of Meesmann's corneal dystrophy. Similar findings were found in her younger brother and mother aged 10 and 50 years-old respectively. Only 6 cases belonging to 5 pedigrees have been reported in Japan. The present cases illustrate that Meesmann's corneal dystrophy may manifest as superficial punctate keratopathy.
