Macular Dystrophy

Up

This is a recessive dystrophy of the corneal stroma which is characterized by cloudy opacities of the stroma which may coalesce and involve the entire stroma leading to corneal clouding (#21949).  Histologically, the stroma is invaded by a mucopolysaccharide material which is seen best on Alcian blue stain (#21952,#21951).
