Corneal Hydrops in Pellucid Marginal Degeneration: A Case Series
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE To report an unusual presentation of pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) and its management by using air injection and tension sutures. CASE REPORT We report 2 cases with a history of acute pain and loss of vision. Examination revealed hydrops at the 6-9 o'clock meridian with Descemet's membrane detachment and tear at the same area and advanced PMD in the other eye. DISCUSSION Air injection with suturing to treat the hydrops in PMD and crescentic excision with lamellar grafting instead of lamellar keratoplasty lead to better results than conservative management. CONCLUSION Corneal hydrops and perforation in patients with PMD is a rare presentation and can be managed by tension sutures and air injection.

A 47-year-old woman with a history of pellucid marginal degeneration was referred for management of hydrops and peripheral perforation of the right cornea. The initial management with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive and bandage contact lens did not preclude aqueous leakage the next day. Amniotic membrane grafting using both a surgical graft and a bandage patch was thus performed in the operating ...
