This video explains Posterior Polymorphous Corneal Dystrophy (PPCD) with special emphasis on its unique endothelial behavior and glaucoma mechanisms.
You will understand:
Why endothelial cells behave like epithelium in PPCD
How epithelial-like endothelium forms a fibrovascular retrocorneal/retrogonial membrane
Mechanism of secondary open-angle glaucoma due to trabecular meshwork coverage
Mechanism of secondary angle-closure glaucoma due to membrane contraction and broad peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS)
Cross-sectional diagrammatic explanation of the anterior chamber angle
Key exam-relevant concepts for postgraduate ophthalmology
This video is part of the Corneal Dystrophy Series – Inside Ophthalmology and is designed for residents, fellows, and exam preparation.
