Salzmann's nodular degeneration can occur without prior keratitis and may recur after surgery. This case highlights the importance of long-term patient monitoring for this corneal condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Diseases

Background:

  • Presents a case of Salzmann's nodular degeneration (SND) in a 75-year-old woman.
  • SND developed unilaterally after cataract surgery, notably without a prior history of keratitis.

Observation:

  • Two instances of superficial keratectomy and amniotic membrane transplantation were performed.
  • Both surgical interventions resulted in lesion recurrence within one month postoperatively.

Findings:

  • A third superficial keratectomy, performed above Bowman's layer, successfully prevented recurrence.
  • The patient showed no recurrence at the 6-month follow-up.

Implications:

  • Salzmann's nodular degeneration diagnosis is possible based on clinical presentation alone, even without a history of keratitis.

  • Recurrence after surgical excision necessitates long-term periodic follow-up for patients diagnosed with SND.
