    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Ectasias
    • Anterior Segment Disorders

    Background:

    • Posterior keratoconus involves inward protrusion of the posterior cornea.
    • It is associated with localized or diffuse corneal stromal thinning.
    • This condition is a rare anterior segment disorder.

    Observation:

    • Presents two cases of circumscribed (localized) posterior keratoconus.
    • These cases represent the spectrum of this anomaly.
    • Highlights the clinical and histological appearance.

    Findings:

    • Detailed review of posterior keratoconus presentation.
    • Discusses differential diagnosis from other corneal ectasias.
    • Explains diagnosis and management strategies.

    Implications:

    • Aids eye care practitioners in diagnosing posterior keratoconus.
    • Improves management of this rare corneal anomaly.
    • Enhances understanding of the spectrum of posterior keratoconus.
