A CASE REPORT ON GRADE II PEDIATRIC LIMBAL DERMOID SURGICALLY TREATED BY SUPERFICIAL KERATECTOMY WITH BUCCAL MUCOSAL GRAFTING
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 15
Abstract
Limbal dermoids are benign congenital tumors that contain choristomatous tissue. They appear most frequently at the inferior temporal quadrant of the corneal limbus. Standard medical treatment for grade I pediatric limbaldermoids (ie, with superficial corneal involvment) is initially conservative. In stages II (ie, affecting the full thickness of the cornea with/without endothelial involvement) and III (ie, involvement of entire cornea and anterior chamber), a combination of excision and lamellar keratoplasty, amniotic membrane, limbal stem cell transplantation, buccal mucosa grafting are advocated. This case report describes a new surgical technique for removal of pediatric corneal-limbaldermoid and ocular surface reconstruction using buccal mucosal graft in achieving good anatomical integrity.
