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.
我们描述了2例通过前基质穿刺（ASP）成功治疗的伴有角膜水肿的布朗-麦克莱恩综合征病例。眼科检查显示两名患者均有周边水肿和无晶状体。患者接受了ASP以控制严重的异物感。该手术在长期随访中效果良好，提示周边ASP可能是有症状的布朗-麦克莱恩综合征患者的一种有效治疗选择。
