[Reis-Bücklers corneal dystrophy].

J E Winkelman, D Wittebol-Post, J W Delleman

    Klinische Monatsblatter Fur Augenheilkunde
    |February 1, 1986

    Summary

    Reis-Bücklers' dystrophy presents in two distinct forms: geographical and honeycomb. Distinguishing these anterior corneal dystrophy types is crucial for accurate diagnosis and corneal graft prognosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Diseases
    • Histopathology

    Context:

    • Reis-Bücklers' dystrophy is literature-classified into two types: geographical and honeycomb.
    • Electron microscopy suggests the geographical form is a variant of granular dystrophy (Groenouw I), while the honeycomb form is considered the true Reis-Bücklers' dystrophy.

    Purpose:

    • To clarify the classification of Reis-Bücklers' dystrophy.
    • To differentiate between the geographical and honeycomb forms of anterior corneal dystrophy.
    • To emphasize the clinical distinctions and prognostic implications for corneal grafting.

    Summary:

    • The geographical form, originally described by Bücklers in 1949, shows no clinical resemblance to the honeycomb form.
    • Current electron-microscopic interpretations linking the geographical form to granular dystrophy are contested.
    • The authors advocate for distinct classifications of geographical and honeycomb forms of Reis-Bücklers' dystrophy, rather than grouping the geographical form with granular dystrophy.

    Impact:

    • Accurate differentiation of Reis-Bücklers' dystrophy subtypes improves diagnostic clarity.
    • Understanding distinct clinical features aids in predicting corneal graft outcomes.
    • This research promotes precise terminology in corneal dystrophy classification, aiding further research and clinical practice.
