Abstract

Salzmann nodular degeneration is a noninflammatory corneal degeneration characterized by elevated, whitish-gray subepi- thelial nodules. Sixty three year old man was evaluated for symptomatic Salzmann nodular degeneration. The vision on the right eye was 0.3. Scheimpflug images demonstrate hyper-reflectance surface elevation. Pentacam 4 map tests showed cornea irregularities, anterior elevation and corneal thickening on the affected area. The patient was treated by superficial keratec- tomy and Mitomycin C application. Improvement was observed after treatment with both Scheimpflug imaging and Pentacam parameters. In the following 7 months, no recurrence was observed, visual acuity improved and cornea remained clear.

Özet

Salzmann nodüler dejenerasyonları kornea yüzeyinden kabarık gri-beyaz enflamatuar olmayan lezyonlardır. Altmış üç yaşında erkek hasta sağ gözde semptomatik Salzmann nodüler dejenerasyonu sebebi ile değerlendirildi. Hastanın tashihli görmesi sağ gözde 0.3 düzeyindeydi. Scheimpflug görüntülemede kornea yüzeyinde hiperreflektans özellikli kabarık görü- nümün mevcut olduğu görüldü. Pentacam 4 harita testlerinde lezyon bölgesinde düzensizlik, ön elevasyonda dikleşme ve pakimetride kalınlaşma mevcuttu. Tedavide yüzeysel keratektomi ve mitomisin C aplikasyonu uygulandı. Tedavi sonrası Scheimpflug görüntülemede ve ön segment Pentacam parametrelerinde iyileşme görüldü. Görmesi artan hastanın takip eden 7 aylık izleniminde nüks gelişmedi ve kornea saydam kaldı.
