Flap de gundersen para tratamento de edema corneano em cão: relato de caso / Gundersen flap to treat corneal edema: case report

ABSTRACT Corneal cross-linking has proven safety and efficacy in arresting the progression of keratoconus. Its use has been extended to resolution of corneal edema. We present a case report and review of literature on the treatment of corneal edema using corneal cross-linking. Corneal cross-linking seems to be an effective method in reducing corneal edema at least as a temporary measure till definitive solution, such as penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) or Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DASEK) is preformed.

Datura Inoxia

Purpose: To report corneal toxicity following intentional inoculation of the juice of crushed leaves of datura (Datura Inoxia). Case Report: A 70-year-old male presented with diminished vision, redness, watering, and photophobia in his right eye one day before his presentation. The patient had instilled the juice of datura leaves in his right eye to treat his ocular problems. Slit lamp examination revealed mild conjunctival and circumcorneal congestion, corneal edema, and folds in Descemet’s membrane. The left eye was pseudophakic with an otherwise unremarkable examination. The patient was treated with dexamethasone, cycloplegics, and lubricants. The cornea did not sufficiently recover after one month of treatment leaving him with permanent corneal decompensation that required a referral for keratoplasty. The patient was followed up for six months. We hypothesize damage to the corneal endothelial Na+/K+-ATPase pump by tropane alkaloids as a cause for corneal decompensation. Conclusion: Awareness about toxicity of this commonly grown plant in the tropics and subtropics is essential in order to avoid blindness due to accidental or deliberate use.

Ocular Tolerability

Purpose: The BrightOcular® implants are the newest model of cosmetic iris devices that are currently advertised as safe. The previous generation known as NewColorIris® have had severe ocular side effects and were subsequently withdrawn from the market. There is little literature on the safety profile of BrightOcular® implants. Case Report: Herein we describe two cases with varying degrees of ocular tolerability. The first case had a normal ocular exam 1 year after implantation, whereas the second case had unilateral severe corneal edema requiring explantation of the iris device and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty 9 months after bilateral implantation. Conclusions: These two cases attest to the unpredictability of the results of these cosmetic surgeries. Patients should be counseled about the vision-threatening complications of iris implants.

This is a case report describing two cases of disciform corneal edema following uncomplicated selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) thought to be secondary to herpes simplex virus (HSV) given the presence of a dendrite, decreased corneal sensation, corneal thinning, and response to therapy with oral and topical antivirals. Corneal edema after SLT treatment has been reported before, but the etiology has been unclear. Our cases highlight HSV as a likely etiology, which may help with prevention and better management of such cases in the future.

Peripheral Cornea

Purpose: The aim of this study was to report a case of Brown-McLean syndrome (BMS). Method: A complete ophthalmic evaluation and follow up for a 77 year old patient with BMS. Result: BMS is a rare condition with corneal edema involving the peripheral cornea with orange-brown pigment deposition underlying the edematous area. The edema typically starts inferiorly and advances circumferentially to superior cornea. Central cornea remains clear in most patients. It requires no further treatment and annual follow-ups are adequate. Conclusion: Patients with BMS can rarely progress to corneal decompensation; however, they should be periodically monitored and made aware of early clinical symptoms and signs of ocular surface complications.

Initial Learning

Abstract Background Complete nuclear disassembly of superhard cataracts cannot always be achieved by phaco chop, which is considered one of the best techniques for dealing with hard cataracts. We present a phaco chop-progressive cracking technique to divide superhard cataracts completely. Case presentation We presented a case of cataract with over Grade V nucleus sclerosis and very low density of corneal endothelial cell (812 cells/mm2). By performing the cataract surgery with our phaco chop-progressive cracking technique, the corneal endothelial cells were well protected and the patient’s visual acuity was markedly improved from finger counting at 40 cm to 20/200 the day after surgery without obvious corneal edema. Conclusions Although an initial learning curve was needed, this phaco chop-progressive cracking technique could be of particular benefit to the superhard cataract, especially in patients with low density of corneal endothelial cells.
