Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 10
Abstract
PURPOSE: To report a case of patch graft performed for corneal perforation in a patient with Terrien’s marginal degeneration. METHOD: A young woman presented with sudden painless loss of vision following a trivial trauma to her right eye. On examination, corneal thinning with perforation, lipid deposition and vascularization was noted. Left eye examination also revealed a crescentic thinning with lipid deposition and vascularization. A patch graft was done for the right eye. RESULT: At two months follow-up, graft was clear and her visual acuity was CF2m in right eye with tectonic stable globe. CONCLUSION: Patch graft is a viable option in cases of perforation to maintain globe integrity.
