Fuchs endothelial dystrophy is a common disorder characterized by progressive corneal endothelial dysfunction, clinically central guttae are observed in descemet membrane and in late stages corneal edema with epithelial bullae can occur. It can happen sporadically or be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Usually, affects women over 40 years old and is considered the most common cause of corneal transplantation worldwide. We present the case of a 59-year-old male patient with no significant history with typical Fuchs endothelial dystrophy findings.
