角膜内皮炎误诊的临床探讨(英文)

Clinical investigation on the misdiagnosis of corneal endotheliitis

目的:分析角膜内皮炎的病因,探讨其临床误诊的原因及治疗要点。方法:回顾分析7例临床上被误诊的角膜内皮炎,包括发病诱因、临床表现及治疗。结果:误诊为结角膜炎2例,误诊为急性闭角型青光眼、青光眼睫状体炎综合症、白内障囊外摘除人工晶体植入术后炎症反应、盘状角膜基质炎、虹膜睫状体炎各1例。经治疗7例痊愈,其中1例复发。结论:角膜内皮炎病因尚不明确,正确掌握本病特征及鉴别诊断要点和认真详细地检查病人,可及时地做出正确诊断。临床治愈后,继续维持治疗4wk以上,可降低复发率。

AIM： To analyze the pathogeny of corneal endotheliitis and to investigate the causes of its misdiagnosis and the key to treatment. METHODS： Seven misdiagnosed cases of corneal endotheliitis presented with predisposing factors, clinical manifestations and treatment were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS： Two cases were misdiagnosed as keratoconjunctiviis, and the other 7 were misdiagnosed as acute close-angle glaucoma, glaucomatocyclitic crisis, inflammatory reaction after cataract extracapsular extraction and IOL implantation, disciform stromal keratitis and iridocyclitis, respectively. All the 7 cases were cured through treatment, and recurrence appeared in 1 case. CONCLUSION： The pathogeny of corneal endotheliitis is undear yet. Properly grasping its features and key points for differential diagnosis and seriously and detailed examining patients will benefit to timely diagnosis. After clinical treatment, maintaining treatment for more than 4wk will lower the recurrence of corneal endotheliitis.
