Abstract

Shinji Makino

We report a case of severe acute corneal hydrops in a 32-year-old woman with keratoconus associated with Down syndrome. The anterior segment of her right eye showed an extremely diffuse edematous ectasia of acute corneal hydrops. She was observed rubbing her right eye because of itchiness and discomfort in the eye. Complete resolution of the corneal edema and a central corneal scar was seen at the 6th week of follow-up.
