مستخلص: | Corneal calcification typically progresses slowly but can occasionally advance rapidly. This report details severe stromal calcification following repeat Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) in a 75-year-old patient with diabetes, hypertension, and prior ocular surgeries, including cataract surgery, intraocular lens extraction with suturing, and trabeculectomy. Persistent epithelial defects after the surgery led to rapid central stromal calcification within four weeks, significantly reducing visual acuity. Management included switching from betamethasone sodium phosphate to fluorometholone, facilitating complete epithelial recovery within two months. However, persistent stromal opacity necessitated a subsequent penetrating keratoplasty. Infrared absorption spectrophotometry identified calcium phosphate as the primary component of the calcification. This case highlights the importance of vigilant monitoring and proactive management of epithelial defects to prevent rapid calcification following endothelial keratoplasty.
