Abstract
Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome (ICE) is a rare disease with a prevalence of less than one per two lakh population. These conditions are predominantly sporadic, almost always unilateral and generally arise in early adulthood, usually in women. Male to female ratio varies from 1:2 to 1:5. Although associated with distinctive clinical features, 68% cases are misdiagnosed initially.
