Abstract
A 20-year-woman with bilateral keratoconus developed acute hydrops of her right cornea. The amount of cornea oedema progressively increased over eight weeks while the central corneal thinned. Histologically the cornea contained a stromal pseudocyst that was in continuity with the anterior chamber through breaks in Descemet''s membrane. Pseudocyst formation is a rare complication of acute corneal hydrops that can simulate severe corneal ectasia.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
