Recurrent Salzmann's nodular degeneration.

Dermatopathia Pigmentosa Reticularis with Salzmann's nodular degeneration of cornea: A rare association.

BACKGROUND Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis (DPR) is a very rare autosomal dominant disorder with the diagnostic triad of generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, noncicatricial alopecia and onychodystrophy. OBJECTIVE To describe the occurrence of Salzmann's nodular degeneration of cornea with moderate dry eye in a patient with Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis. CASE We present an 1...

Salzmann's Nodular Corneal Degeneration 62-year-old woman presents with 3 years of progressive decrease in vision

Reduction of hyperopia associated with manual excision of Salzmann's nodular degeneration.

PURPOSE Removing central corneal pathology often leads to a hyperopic shift secondary to corneal flattening. A myopic shift, or reduction in hyperopia, would be expected after removal of peripheral corneal pathology with central corneal steepening. This case illustrates the refractive changes induced by Salzmann's nodular degeneration and the myopic shift associated with their excision. METHO...

Salzmann's corneal degeneration associated with epithelial basement membrane dystrophy.

Salzmann’s corneal nodular degeneration has been defined as a degenerative process that follows episodes of keratitis. The diagnosis is based on the presence of elevated nodules above the surface of the cornea, usually at the periphery. The condition appears commonly associated with a history of scarlet fever, measles, trachoma, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, or phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis ...

Salzmann's nodular corneal degeneration clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes.

PURPOSE To characterize the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes for Salzmann's nodular corneal degeneration (SNCD). METHODS In this retrospective, noncomparative, observational case series, all patients coded with a diagnosis of SNCD between January 1, 1996, and April 30, 2002 were included. Cases whose clinical description did not match the classic description of this disorder wer...
