espanolCaso clinico: Mujer de 45 anos que desde la infancia referia irritacion ocular y fotofobia bilateral. En la biomicroscopia se apreciaba en ambos ojos depositos blanco-amarillentos en estroma profundo de la periferia media corneana. La evolucion de estos depositos fue lentamente progresiva sin repercusion significativa sobre la agudeza visual. Discusion: La configuracion bilateral y simetrica de los depositos lipidicos, la ausencia de vascularizacion corneal y de patologia ocular previa, asi como la ausencia de enfermedad del metabolismo lipidico asociada apoyan el diagnostico de queratopatia lipidica primaria en nuestro caso. La evolucion lentamente progresiva de la enfermedad queda tambien confirmada. EnglishCase report: Observational, case report study. A 45-year-old woman complained of bilateral irritation and photophobia since childhood. Slit-lamp examination revealed yellow-whitish deposits involving the deep stroma of the peripheral half of the cornea in both eyes. The evolution was slowly progressive with a moderate impairment of her visual acuity. Discussion: Lipid deposits adopt symmetric and bilateral configurations; the absence of corneal vascularization and ocular pathology as well as any lipoprotein disorder support the diagnosis of primary lipid keratopathy. The slow progressing disease is also confirmed.
