Resumo Neste relato, descrevemos um caso de Distrofia corneana de Schnyder que apresentou o desfecho de seu diagnóstico baseado em achados característicos na microscopia confocal, ferramenta que se aponta em destaque no universo oftalmológico.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Schnyder's corneal dystrophy (SCD) is a rare corneal condition characterized by cholesterol and phospholipids deposition in the stroma and Bowman's layer. We present a case report of a patient who had a progressive corneal stromal haze in both eyes since he was 15 years old. Etiological diagnosis of SCD was well established by In Vivo Confocal Microscopy (IVCM).
