Keratolimbal Allograft in the Management of Delayed-Onset Mustard Gas Keratopathy: Long-term Results

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term results of Keratolimbal allograft (KLAL) in the management of Delayed-onset Mustard Gas Keratopathy (MGK). Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study considers those patients with documented MGK, who underwent KLAL between 2002 and 2016 in the Department of ophthalmology, Labbafinejad Medical Center. After obtaining consent, the patients were followed clo...

Living-related conjunctival-limbal allograft for chronic or delayed-onset mustard gas keratopathy.

PURPOSE To determine the long-term outcomes of living-related stem cell transplantation in patients with delayed or chronic mustard gas keratopathy (MGK). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this noncomparative interventional case series, 21 consecutive patients with advanced delayed or chronic MGK received living-related conjunctival-limbal allograft and were followed up for at least 1 year. All subjec...

stem cell deficiency in patients with chronic and delayed-onset mustard gas keratopathy

purpose: to evaluate stem cell deficiency using impression cytology (ic) in patients with chronic and delayed-onset mustard gas keratopathy (mgk). methods: a consecutive series of patients with mgk underwent ic. thirty-five eyes of 18 patients (all male) with mustard gas keratopathy were included in this observational case series. presence of goblet cells on the corneal side of specimens was co...

Architectural and Biochemical Expressions of Mustard Gas Keratopathy: Preclinical Indicators and Pathogenic Mechanisms

A subset of victims of ocular sulfur mustard (SM) exposure develops an irreversible, idiotypic keratitis with associated secondary pathologies, collectively referred to as mustard gas keratopathy (MGK). MGK involves a progressive corneal degeneration resulting in chronic ocular discomfort and impaired vision for which clinical interventions have typically had poor outcomes. Using a rabbit corne...

Panceratic Complications of Mustard Gas Exposure: A Study on Cadavers

Background: Sulfur mustard is one of the chemical warfare gases that has been known as a vesicant or blistering agents. It is a chemical alkylating compound agent that can be frequently absorbed through skin, respiratory system, genital tract, and ocular system. This study was done to pathologically analyze the microscopic pancreatic lesions in cadavers. Methods: This case series study was per...
