title: Deep corneal scarring in pellucid marginal corneal degeneration.
abstract: Crescent-shaped, deep corneal scars were observed in seven (39%) of 18 patients with pellucid marginal corneal degeneration. The scars most likely represent a degenerative change related to the precipitous alteration in curvature of the cornea in that area.
