영문 초록

Purpose: To report the first case of lattice corneal dystrophy, gelsolin type in Korea. Case summary: A 61-year-old man visited our clinic with severe dry eye symptom in both eyes. Clinical examination revealed in both eyes a visual acuity of 0.7 without correction and intraocular pressure of 18 mm Hg. On slit-lamp examination, both corneas had scattered lattice lines at various depths within the stroma with punctate epithelial erosions. The patient had characteristic features of Meretoja syndrome, including cranial neuropathy characterized by dermatochalasis and facial weakness, and was positive for the gelsolin mutation according to DNA analysis. This is the first description of a patient with lattice corneal dystrophy, gelsolin type in Korea. Conclusions: This is the first description of a patient with lattice corneal dystrophy, gelsolin type in Korea and demonstrates the importance of recognizing the systemic and ophthalmic features for appropriate management of the condition.
