Brown-McLean syndrome secondary keratoconus
This case underscores the importance of considering BMS in the differential diagnosis of peripheral corneal edema even in the absence of ocular surgery or trauma. The potential relationship between BMS and keratoconus is explored, suggesting that long-term edema and degeneration of the peripheral cornea could alter its biomechanical properties, leading to deformation and keratoconus. Thorough clinical evaluation and long-term follow-up are crucial in managing such patients.
