Recurrent Disciform Keratitis, Deep Neovascularization
Patient with recurrent disciform keratitis. The photo shows deep corneal vascularization. Straight radially oriented vessels start near the limbus and arborize near and in the scar. Note the box-car formation in the vessels which occurs when blood flow is very slow. Common after long standing stromal edema/inflammation.
