Overview

Cornea verticillata: A bilateral, whorl-like corneal pattern of cream colored lines in a patient with Fabry disease.

Cornea verticillata, also called Fleischer vortex, Vortex keratopathy or Whorl keratopathy, is a condition characterised by corneal deposits at the level of the basal epithelium forming a faint golden-brown whorl pattern. It is seen in Fabry disease or in case of prolonged amiodarone intake.

Presentation

No ocular complaints or visual difficulty is usually present.

Pathophysiology

This keratopathy is probably a type of drug-induced lipidosis.
