purpose : to determine the efficacy of fibrin glue in corneal perforations up to 3 mm in diameter methods : a case series study was performed on corneal perforations up to 3 mm who were admitted at farabi hospital- tehran. age, visual acuity, presence and size of corneal thinning, corneal epithelial defect, size and depth of corneal infiltration, site and size of corneal perforation, corneal va...

purpose : to evaluate the effects of topical sesame oil in the treatment of severe corneal alkali injury in rabbits methods : in a double-blind experiment, 30 healthy white rabbits were randomized into a sesame oil treatment group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). under general anesthesia, severe corneal alkali injuries were induced by application of 1 n sodium hydroxide for 40 seconds to the ...

BACKGROUND Corneal perforation is an uncommon complication associated with keratoconus. The first cases of infectious keratitis and corneal perforation associated with corneal hydrops and contact lens wear are reported in two keratoconus patients. METHODS A retrospective chart review and histopathological examination were carried out. RESULTS Both patients progressed to corneal perforation ...

Purpose. To describe a surgical technique using amniotic membrane transplant (AMT) with fibrin glue (FG) for treating smaller corneal perforations more practically and appropriately filling the defect. Method. A patient with noninfectious central corneal perforation, in 1 mm in diameter, was treated with FG-assisted AMT-plug. An AMT was folded in on itself twice by using FG then a small piece o...

We report a case of tectonic corneal transplantation for impending corneal perforation to preserve anatomic integrity using cryopreserved donor tissue. An 82-year-old woman exhibiting impending corneal perforation suffered from moderate ocular pain in the left eye for one week. After abnormal tissues around the impending perforation area were carefully peeled away using a Crescent blade and Van...

BACKGROUND Corneal perforation in severe Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) presenting great therapeutic difficulties, the imperative corneal transplantation always result in graft failure and repeated recurrence of perforation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a modified small tectonic keratoplasty (MSTK) with minimal corneal graft in the management of refractory corneal ...

PURPOSE To report on corneal ulceration in ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). METHODS This was a retrospective, observational case series investigating corneal ulceration and perforation in a cohort of ocular GVHD patients seen between June 2007 and October 2012. RESULTS Four of 243 ocular GVHD patients developed corneal ulcerations attributable to ocular GVHD, and all four cases invo...

OU, a failed corneal graft with corneal thinning and an epithelial defect in the right eye, and severe corneal thinning with a corneal perforation in the left eye. The corneal perforation in the left eye was managed with cyanoacrylate glue and a bandage contact lens. The patient was malnourished because of her social situation and psychiatric deterioration, with a vitamin A level of 5 μg/dL. Af...

PURPOSE To describe a case of chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) leading to severe dry eye and recurrent corneal perforation in both eyes, its stepwise management and histopathological reports. CASE REPORT A 22-year-old woman with a history of thalassemia and subsequent high-dose chemotherapy followed by allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) was referred to Farabi Eye Hospital. Despit...

RATIONALE Terrien's marginal corneal degeneration (TMD) is characterized by progressive peripheral corneal thinning. It appears primarily above the age of 40 years and is rare at younger ages. Spontaneous corneal perforation in TMD is a rare, but serious complication that may occur in childhood. PATIENT CONCERNS This review presents the case of a 16-year-old girl presented with blurred vision...
