Trata-se do estágio máximo do edema corneano._x000D_ _x000D_ É uma condição patológica em que pequenas vesículas, ou bolhas, são formadas na córnea devido à disfunção endotelial. Em uma córnea saudável, as células endoteliais impedem o tecido de absorver fluido em excesso, bombeando-o de volta para o humor aquoso. Quando afetadas por algum motivo, como distrofia de Fuchs ou trauma durante a remoção da catarata, as células endoteliais sofrem danos ou morrem. As células endoteliais da córnea normalmente não sofrem divisão celular mitótica e a perda celular resulta em perda permanente da função. | |||
