Abstract
We describe 2 cases of Brown-McLean syndrome with corneal edema successfully treated by anterior stromal puncture (ASP). Ophthalmologic examinations showed peripheral edema and aphakia in both patients. The patients had ASP to control the severe foreign-body sensation. The procedure was effective over a long-term follow-up, suggesting that peripheral ASP may be an effective therapeutic option for patients with symptomatic Brown-McLean syndrome.Entities:
