Tóm tắt

PURPOSE: To describe the prevalence and the corneal endothelium´s morphology in Hispanic patients with primary corneal guttata (PCG). METHODS: Retrospective comparative study of PCG and healthy individuals. RESULTS: 122 (17.38%) PCG out of 702 eyes from 356 healthy patients with no surgeries nor a familiar history of Fuchs´ dystrophy were studied. The mean age of PCG patients was 68.12 ± 10.59 years (45-88 years). While the mean cell density (MCD) in PCG group was 1893.61 ± 597.01 cells/mm CONCLUSION: A high proportion of PCG was observed in this Hispanic population. These patients show a lower-than-average MCD compared to a healthy population. A high rate of polymegethism and pleomorphism was observed, particularly in females, where PCG was more frequent.
