Corneal ectasia secondary to peripheral endotheliopathy in a patient with classic pars planitis

To report a case of corneal ectasia secondary to pars planitis corneal endotheliopathy

Clinical case description and proposed hypothesis regarding development of corneal ectasia

Eight-year-old male presented with 360° peripheral corneal endotheliopathy and edema, granulomatous keratic precipitates, and mild iritis OD. A progressive corneal ectasia then developed. Twenty months later, OS presented similarly and anterior chamber inflammatory cells, vitreous snowballs, and retinal vasculitis were observed OU. Classic pars planitis was diagnosed

This is the first case of endotheliopathy as the first manifestation of pars planitis and as a cause of a secondary central cornea ectasia developed.
