In addition, dotted brownish-orange pigmentation may appear in the peripheral endothelium. Central endothelial density is somewhat below normal values and cornea gutatta may coexist. It has been described mainly after intracapsular lens extraction and with less frequency after extracapsular extraction, phacoemulsification, keratoplasty, IOL implant in CA and vitrectomy. In addition, it has been reported in the absence of surgery associated to ocular traumatism, closed angle glaucoma, myotonic dystrophy and lens subluxation.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3,4</span></a></p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Suggested pathogenics include iris peripheral endothelial traumatism, IOL haptics, dislocated vitreous or lens which causes endothelial abrasion and cell loss in the periphery, without discarding associated genetic predisposition.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a></p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The period of time in which BMS appears after surgery has been reported between 1.5 and 34 years.

This pain is related to the rupture of the bullae and the ensuing exposure of corneal nervous endings. If treatment with hypertonic saline solution or lubricants is not enough, extended use soft contact lenses may be required with the ensuing risk of infection. In the case of progressive decompensation which could affect the center of the cornea, as can occur particularly with anterior chamber phakic lenses, penetrating keratoplasty could be indicated. However, this would not be adequate in the typical syndrome because the VA is maintained and larger diameters would be required, thus significantly increasing the risk of surgery due to rejection caused by proximity to the limbus. The possibility of carrying out an “annular” Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) would not be feasible. The patient of this report exhibited a spontaneous and highly satisfactory VA of 20/30, for which reason keratoplasty of any type was discarded.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Syndrome cases with association to anterior chamber phakic lenses in which the condition has been halted by withdrawing the lens are altogether different.</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Stromal puncture has been applied as an alternative to keratoplasty in eyes with bullous keratoplasty without visual expectations and in cases of relapsing erosion.
