Interstitial linear keratitis.
A 15-year-old boy and a 21-year-old man had linear, nonmigratory corneal inflammations in the anterior stroma. The recurrent lesions extended from corneoscleral limbus to corneoscleral limbus within the palpebral aperture. They healed spontaneously with some scarring and minimal vascularization but without loss of vision. The cause could not be determined and serologic tests for syphilis were negative in both cases.
