[Annular calcareous thesaurismosis of the cornea: Axenfeld's dystrophy].

Abstract

The authors describe a case of primary corneal degeneration which is of calcareal nature and has annular shape. The patient has had a follow-up period of 15-16 years. A clinical study has been done and we have established a similitude with Axenfeld's primary calcareal degeneration, which was described by this author in 1917. Other corneal degenerations are also commented, which may induce into diagnostic error.
