[Dyskeratosis of the corneal epithelium (author's transl)]. 1978

E Landolt

Three patients presented an unilateral whitish cloudiness of the corneal epithelium which reduced the vision considerably. In two cases, radiotherapy was carried out previously (because of pterygium and because of teleangiectasia of the conjunctiva). In the eye of one patient, a superficial corneal lesion developed during general anesthesia. The corneal epithelium was scraped off in all cases, but the opacities reappeared. Histologically, the epithelium showed dyskeratosis with signs of malignancy. --7 illustrations (3 sketches of the corneas, 4 histological photographs).

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
