[Congenital corneal opacity caused by thickening of Bowman's membrane]
Abstract:
Congenital corneal opacifications are rare, yet their causes are manifold. Only a few cases have been described in which the most striking histopathological feature is a thickening of Bowman's membrane. The authors found an isolated thickening of this membrane in the corneas of a baby who, shortly after birth, presented with corneal opacifications in both eyes. Only a few months after penetrating keratoplasty was performed the condition recurred. Bowman's membrane was found to be thickened in the graft as well.
