Fuchs dystrophy, also Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, is a rare pathology of the eye that may be seen in Descemet's membrane specimens.
General
- Uncommon.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Guttae accumulations.
- Collagenous material from the basement membrane.
- Decreased endothelial density.[2]
- Thickening of Descemet's membrane.[3]
