Abstract
Purpose: Iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome includes Chandler's s yndrome, essential iris atrophy, and the Cogan Reese syndrome. The pur pose of this article is to describe a rare case with two forms of the syndrome simultaneously.Methods: A case of Cogan Reese syndrome in one eye and Chandler's syndrome in the fellow eye is reported. Results: D uring 5 years of follow-up only slight progression, manifested in epis odes of blurred vision, occurred because of corneal changes. Glaucoma did not develop. Conclusion: ICE syndrome is considered as unilateral, although cases of bilateral involvement of the same variant have been described. But a simultaneous presentation of two different forms mig ht occur, as in this patient.
