Amniotic membrane transplantation has been in common therapeutic use for a variety of ocular disorders. Authors present a case of a 50-year-old man who was diagnosed to be a case of total symblepharon following an episode of membranous conjunctivitis who was treated with freshly prepared Amniotic membrane transplantation with satisfactory cosmetic result.

Purpose. To report the use of infliximab in the rapid stabilization of a case of progressive, bilateral rheumatoid peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) that failed to respond to conventional immunosuppressive therapy.Methods. A single interventional case report.Results. A patient with rheumatoid arthritis presented with bilateral PUK following a 2-month history of ocular discomfort and redness. His systemic prednisolone (PDN) and methotrexate (MTX) were increased and, despite an initial favorable response, bilateral recurrent corneal perforations ensued. Both eyes underwent cyanoacrylate glue repair, amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT), and penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). Recurrence of the disease and bilateral perforations of the second PKP in both eyes prompted administration of intravenous infliximab immediately after the fourth PKP. The disease activity rapidly settled in both eyes, and at eighteen-month followup, after 12 infliximab infusions, the PUK remains quiescent with no further graft thinning or perforation.Conclusion. Infliximab can be used to arrest the progression of severe bilateral rheumatoid PUK in cases that are refractory to conventional treatment.

Gingival smile is defined as excessive gum exposition. Its etiology may be related to several factors, among them a maxillary vertical excess, superior dentoalveolar protrusion, changed passive extrusion and or eruption of anterior-superior teeth and hyperactivity of superior lip lift muscle.  In cases in which the etiological factor is from muscle, the use of Botulinum toxin typo A (BTX-A) should be indicated. To highlight the benefits obtained with therapeutic use of this substance, the authors describe a clinical case of a female young patient, in which the Botox® was applied to correct gingival smile as a way to complement the orthodontic treatment. The applications were performed in two lateral points on the nose wing in a single session. The result was very satisfactory and there was no need additional dose. The authors concluded that BTX-A is a safe option and minimum invasive for treatment of gingival smile when provoked by muscle hypercontraction. Its side effects are rare with discrete discomfort during the application.

A New Technique

Abstract Background: conjunctival nevi are benign ocular lesions with a low risk of malignant transformation to melanoma. Due to cosmetic reasons patients usually consider surgical removal options. In this case report, we are presenting a new approach using plasma-assisted noninvasive surgery (PANIS) with amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) to sublimate the nevus border and fuse the AMT with the remaining conjunctiva.Case presentation: A 33-year-old man with a history of large conjunctival nevus in his left eye, that its benignity was proved by an expert ophthalmologist through years of examination, has visited our center in September 2020. Plasma spots were used to sublimate the nevus border and fuse AMT with the conjunctiva. The patient was discharged fully satisfied without any complications and no recurrences were seen in a year of follow-up. Visual parameters were not significantly changed while the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) was reduced dramatically. Conclusion: Conjunctival nevi removal using the PANIS method with AMT is a safe, minimally invasive, and inexpensive therapeutic option. Plasma spots are suitable for AMT adhesion to the remaining conjunctiva after the nevus removal.

Shunt Implantation

Traditional options in managing failed trabeculectomy (bleb needling, revision, additional incisional surgery and tube surgery) have a relatively high failure and complication rate. The use of microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has generally been reserved to mild to moderate glaucoma cases, proving good safety profiles but significant limitations in terms of efficacy. We describe a patient who underwent MIGS (XEN Aquesys subconjunctival shunt implantation) after a prior failed trabeculectomy. After the surgery, the IOP was well controlled but as the stent was close to an area of scarred conjunctiva of the previous trabeculectomy, it became partially exposed. As a complete success was achieved, we decided to remove the conjunctiva over the exposed area and replace it by an amniotic membrane transplantation and a conjunctiva autograft. Six months after surgery, the unmedicated IOP is still well controlled with complete visual acuity recovery.

The study of primary pterygium excision with amniotic membrane transplantation contribute to the treament of pterygium. Objectives: To evaluate the outcome of primary pterygium excision with amniotic membrane transplantation. Methods: prospective study, clinical case study with no control. Results: 69,44% patients with primary pterygia were mainly at the age 20 to 60 years. Pterygia at level III were 71,15%. After surgery visual acuity was not remarkably increased while astigmation was reduced remarkably. Good result was 93,67%. Recurrent rate at 3 months after surgery was 2,08%. Conclusion: Pterygium excision with amniotic membrane transplantation has many benefits like highly cosmetic, meet the patient’s demand and saving conjuntiva. This method has the same recurrent rate compare wih other methods. Key words: pterygium, amniotic membrane, recurrent, conjuntiva, transplantation.

Uncorrected Visual Acuity

Purpose: Medical plasma application has been used in different fields recently. In this study, we assess the outcome of using plasma-assisted noninvasive surgery (PANIS) with amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) in pterygium surgical treatment. Methods: This clinical case series was conducted in 4 patients with primary grades 1, 2, and 3 pterygium (Table 1). After exclusion and inclusion criteria considerations, patients underwent different examinations. Various measurements were obtained such as uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), refractive error (RE), the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and ocular surface disease index (OSDI). The surgical procedure was pterygium removal from the cornea and then AMT attached to the conjunctival borders with plasma spots using a white handpiece of Plexr device (Plexr, GMV s.r.l Grottaferrata, Italy) instead (Table 2). After postoperative follow-ups within the first week of the surgery and in 1 month and 6 months later the results were obtained. Results: All patients have been fully recovered after the surgery without any complications. In all 4 cases, UCVA, BCVA, and RE parameters have improved during 6 months after the surgical procedure. Every patients’ OSDI decreased after the surgery. Recurrence has not been seen in any cases during 6 months follow-up. Conclusion: Pterygium removal surgery using the PANIS technique with AMT is safe, effective, fast, and cost-benefit.
