ABSTRACT The characteristics of 463 cases of Überreiter's Syndrome are presented. Over 80% of the diagnoses were made in German Shepherds. A treatment regimen utilizing combinations of corticosteroids, irradiation, superficial keratectomy and partial penetrating keratoplasty is outlined. An hypothesis that ultraviolet radiation is involved in the pathogenesis of this syndrome is proposed for further testing.
