  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We diagnosed 4 cases as Meesmann corneal epithelial dystrophy. The series comprised a 33-year-old female and her daughter,a 24-year-old female and a 45-year-old male. In the first case, similar symptoms were reportedly present in the paternal grandmother, aunt, father and her brother suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance. Foreign body sensation was the common complaint in the present cases with occasional photophobia. Objective findings included defects in the corneal epithelium simulating diffuse superficial keratopathy and intraepithelial accumulation of microcysts. The visual acuity was generally fair to good. Impression cytology and specular microscopy were useful in establishing the diagnosis.Since the first description of the disease in 1935, about 200 cases in 23 pedigrees have been reported overseas. Only 11 cases have been reported in Japan to our best knowledge.
