    Microscopic examination of posterior polymorphous dystrophy (PPD) reveals a multilaminar Descemet

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Science
    • Histopathology

    Background:

    • Posterior polymorphous dystrophy (PPD) is a rare inherited corneal disease.
    • Understanding the ultrastructural changes in PPD is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Serial sections of a keratoplasty specimen showed a multilaminar Descemet's membrane.
    • Focal nodular protrusions of connective tissue were observed, correlating with clinical polymorphous lesions.
    • Fibroblast-like cells lined the posterior corneal surface ultrastructurally.

    Findings:

    • The study identified a multilaminar Descemet's membrane and connective tissue protrusions in PPD.
    • Ultrastructural analysis revealed fibroblast-like cells on the posterior cornea.
    • These findings suggest an evolving metaplastic process in PPD.

    Implications:

    • The findings suggest PPD may involve metaplasia of corneal posterior cells.
    • Epithelial-like transformation in PPD cases might indicate advanced disease with corneal edema.
    • Further research into the dynamic nature of PPD cellular changes is warranted.
