acetazolamide and Fuchs' Endothelial Dystrophy

acetazolamide has been researched along with Fuchs' Endothelial Dystrophy in 3 studies

Acetazolamide: One of the CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS that is sometimes effective against absence seizures. It is sometimes useful also as an adjunct in the treatment of tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and atonic seizures, particularly in women whose seizures occur or are exacerbated at specific times in the menstrual cycle. However, its usefulness is transient often because of rapid development of tolerance. Its antiepileptic effect may be due to its inhibitory effect on brain carbonic anhydrase, which leads to an increased transneuronal chloride gradient, increased chloride current, and increased inhibition. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1991, p337)

Fuchs' Endothelial Dystrophy: Disorder caused by loss of endothelium of the central cornea. It is characterized by hyaline endothelial outgrowths on Descemet's membrane, epithelial blisters, reduced vision, and pain.

"A 75-year-old man without Fuchs dystrophy underwent cataract extraction on his right eye in 2007, and 5 years later, Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty was performed for pseudophakic edema in the same eye at another center."1.40Progressive corneal clearance after a DMEK graft partially folded over on itself in a non-fuchs pseudophakic eye.
