The ICE syndrome includes three variants of the same disease, previously believed to be independent entities. All three share clinical and histopathological features, such as endothelial abnormalities, iris damage, and progressive closure of the iridocorneal angle. Seven cases of ICE syndrome are reported, affected six females and one male, with a mean age of 40 years. Corectopia was found in five eyes, a uveal ectropion in two cases, and other iris changes in three cases. The endothelial changes of the cornea were confirmed by speculum microscopy in five cases. There were five cases of Chandler's syndrome, one of Cogan-Reese's syndrome, and one case of iris essential atrophy in this series. Ocular hypertony was observed in three cases, two of which required operation. Corneal edema was observed in one patient.LA: French
