Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome.

The ICE syndrome includes 3 variants of the same disease, previously believed to be independent entities. All 3 share clinical and histopathological features such as endothelial abnormalities, iris damage, and progressive closure of the iridocorneal angle. Seven cases of ICE syndrome are reported, affecting 6 women and 1 man, with a mean age of 40 years. Corectopia was found in 5 eyes, a uveal ectropion in 2 cases, and other iris changes in 3 cases. The endothelial changes of the cornea were confirmed by a speculum microscopy in 5 cases. There were 5 cases of Chandler syndrome, 1 of Cogan-Reese syndrome, and 1 case of iris essentiel atrophy in our series. ocular hypertony was observed in 3 cases, 2 of which needed to be operated. in one patient, a corneal edema was observed.
