| fuchs' endothelial dystrophy | Disorder caused by loss of endothelium of the central cornea. It is characterised by hyaline endothelial outgrowths on descemet's membrane, epithelial blisters, reduced vision, and pain. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| Fuchs' epithelial dystrophy | Epithelial oedema secondary to endothelial dystrophy of the cornea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal endothelial polymorphism | A greater than normal variation in the shape of the cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelial dystrophy of cornea | Spontaneous loss of corneal endothelium leading to oedema of the corneal stroma and epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Groenouw's corneal dystrophy | A granular type of corneal dystrophy, with autosomal dominant inheritance, a macular type of corneal dystrophy, with autosomal recessive inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ring-like corneal dystrophy | Thread-like opacities of the anterior corneal stroma, with acute, painful onset followed by decreased vision; autosomal dominant inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal dystrophy | Central corneal opacification, usually bilateral, symmetrical, and often autosomal recessive, involving predominantly epithelial, stromal, or endothelial layers, often in a typical pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
| juvenile epithelial corneal dystrophy | Epithelial dystrophy characterised by progressive cysts and opacities of the corneal epithelium, with onset in infancy. Inheritance: autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance. Synonym: Meesman dystrophy. (22 Sep 2002) |
| lattice corneal dystrophy | A corneal dystrophy due to localised accumulation of amyloid in a reticular pattern; manifest at puberty and progressing slowly until eventually useful vision is lost; autosomal dominant inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of Fuchs | <ophthalmology> A crevice between the ciliary and pupillary zones of the iris formed by atrophy of superficial layers of the iris in the pupillary zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Dalen-Fuchs nodules | Collections of epithelial cells lying between Bruch's membrane and the retinal pigment epithelium in sympathetic ophthalmia and rarely in other granulomatous intraocular inflammations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' adenoma | <tumour> A benign epithelial tumour of the non-pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body, rarely exceeding 1 mm in diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' black spot | An area of pigment proliferation in the macular region in degenerative myopia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' coloboma | A congenital inferior crescent on the choroid at the edge of the optic disk; not associated with myopia. Synonym: congenital conus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs, Ernst | <person> Austrian ophthalmologist, 1851-1930. See: Fuchs' adenoma, angle of Fuchs, Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis, Fuchs' coloboma, Fuchs' epithelial dystrophy, Fuchs' black spot, Fuchs' spur, Fuchs' stomas, Fuchs' syndrome, Fuchs' uveitis, Dalen-Fuchs nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
