Abstract
Case report

Posterior polymorphous dystrophy (DPP) is a rare posterior corneal dystrophy that is genetically transmitted as autosomal dominant. Corneal structures affected in this dystrophy are Descemet membrane and the endothelium. A case is presented on a 47-year-old woman with no relevant history, with typical findings of DPP (vesicular and band lesions at the endothelium and posterior Descemet).

Discussion

To our knowledge there are no reported cases of DPP in Latin-American patients in the literature. The clinical manifestations in our patient were found to be very similar to the cases reported in other populations.

Resumen
Caso clínico

La distrofia polimorfa posterior (DPP) es una distrofia corneal rara de transmisión autosómica dominante. Las estructuras corneales afectadas en esta distrofia son la mem-brana de Descemet y el endotelio. Se presenta el caso clínico de una mujer de 47 años sin antecedentes de importancia, con hallazgos típicos de DPP (lesiones vesiculares y en banda a nivel del endotelio y Descemet posterior).

Discusión

Encontramos que las manifestaciones clínicas en nuestra paciente son muy similares a los casos reportados en otras poblaciones. La ausencia de antecedentes heredofamiliares no descarta el diagnóstico de DPP puesto que esta enfermedad generalmente cursa asintomática.
