corneal perforation/edema

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

Purpose: To report an unusual case of a patient with keratoconus and acute hydrops complicated with corneal perforation and describe its management using a new surgical approach. Methods: A case report and new surgical approach

A 27-year-old male with a repetitive behavior of eyeball pressing for six months presented with decreasing visual acuity for three months. Upon arrival his best corrected visual acuity was 0.2 on the right and 0.6 on the left eyes. Scheimpflug camera system demonstrated grade 4 and grade 2

OBJECTIVE To report a rare case of spontaneous corneal perforation after hydrops in keratoconus patients who suffer from familial Mediterranean fever and was treated systemically with Colchicine. METHODS Case report. RESULTS We report a case of a 30-year-old male with keratoconus and familial

OBJECTIVE To report an uncommon case of bilateral spontaneous corneal perforation in keratoconus. METHODS Interventional case report. METHODS A 63-year-old man with a long history of keratoconus (more than 30 years) experienced acute hydrops and corneal perforation in his right eye. One year later,

OBJECTIVE To report a case of corneal hydrops with perforation in a patient with ectasia after undergoing laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS An observational study with clinical, optical coherence tomographic, and histopathologic findings. RESULTS A 41-year-old woman had an acute onset of

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of the use of a nictitating membrane flap (NMF) as therapy in 19 cats (21 eyes) affected with feline acute corneal hydrops (FACH). METHODS Medical records from 19 cats diagnosed with FACH and treated with a NMF were retrospectively evaluated. Information was

OBJECTIVE We studied a case of Fuchs' superficial marginal keratitis in which cystic corneal hydrops developed in one eye, and spontaneous corneal perforation occurred in the fellow eye. METHODS The patient underwent bilateral annular corneoscleral lamellar patch grafts for tectonic

METHODS A 22-year- old woman with an acute hydrops and Descemet membrane detachment was managed by intracameral air injection combined with multiple corneal stromal venting incisions for the drainage of intrastromal fluid. No intraoperative complications were encountered, and the intrastromal fluid

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical outcome of autologous ipsilateral lamellar corneal-flap transposition for treatment of peripheral corneal perforation. METHODS Medical records of 13 patients who underwent autologous ipsilateral lamellar corneal-flap transposition for peripheral corneal perforation

We believe that this is the first report of cystoid macular edema following corneal-relaxing incisions. Both cases we describe occurred in pseudophakic eyes, one of which contained an ultraviolet light-absorbing intraocular lens. One case was complicated by a corneal perforation and postoperative

OBJECTIVE To describe a case of spontaneous wound dehiscence 29 years after radial keratotomy (RK) and to illustrate how specialty contact lenses were used for tectonic support and optic correction. METHODS Tertiary referral center for corneal pathology. METHODS Case report. RESULTS In November

OBJECTIVE To report the association of chronic ocular hypotony with the development of progressive corneal ectasia and hydrops. METHODS Retrospective case series. RESULTS Three patients with ocular hypotony were referred for corneal evaluation and found to have ectasia and acute corneal hydrops in
