Purpose.The study aimed at evaluating the patients’ characteristics, risk factors, complications, and visual outcome of traumatic wound dehiscence after keratoplasty.Patients and Methods. A retrospective case series that included 20 eyes of 20 patients who had undergone a previous keratoplasty procedure followed by traumatic wound dehiscence. Records of the selected patients were reviewed. The mean duration of follow-up after repair was 21 months. Included patients were recalled for the final follow-up visit.Results.The procedure of corneal transplantation was penetrating (PKP) in 16 eyes and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) in 4 eyes. The associated anterior segment injuries included iris prolapse in 17 eyes and lens extrusion in 12 eyes. The associated posterior segment injuries included vitreous hemorrhage in 11 eyes and retinal detachment in 4 eyes. The final BSCVA was 0.1 or better in 5 cases (25 %) and was better than hand motions (HM) to less than 0.1 in 7 cases (35 %).Conclusion.Traumatic wound dehiscence following keratoplasty results in poor visual outcome. Cases following DALK may have less wound extent and better final visual outcome. The dehiscence seems most likely to occur during the first year.

Abstract Keratoconus is an ectatic corneal disorder characterized by progressive corneal thinning and protrusion. Keratoconus recurrence after corneal transplantation although rare is present and has been confirmed histologically. Host, donor, genetic, mechanical and environmental factors have been proposed as predisposing factors to initiate keratoconus recurrence. The time-to-recurrence post-deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty seems to occur earlier than after penetrating keratoplasty. Wound dehiscence and high astigmatism post-transplant are plausible differential diagnosis for this entity. The treatment options are similar to primary keratoconus. Since, the era of collagen corneal cross-linking, early diagnosis is desirable as it could halt the progression of recurrent keratoconus. How to cite this article Barbara R, Barbara A.
