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

Cornea verticillata, also called Fleischer vortex,[1] 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.[2]

Presentation

No ocular complaints or visual difficulty is usually present.[2][3]

Pathophysiology

This keratopathy is probably a type of drug-induced lipidosis.[2]
