Purpose: To report a rare case of conjunctival neuroma after a successful corneal neurotization surgery.
Methods: The clinical file and histopathology slides of this patient who underwent surgical corneal neurotization for a neurotrophic keratopathy in the right eye were reviewed.
Results: A 70-year-old man with a history of severe herpetic (varicella zoster) neurotrophic keratopathy and keratouveitis in the right eye developed a corneal perforation, which required tectonic keratoplasty (May 2020).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to showcase cases of extreme corneal flattening, termed collagen compaction syndrome, following successful endothelial keratoplasty (EK).
- Four patients, averaging 64.8 years old, experienced significant vision problems after EK due to chronic corneal edema, with best-corrected vision ranging from 20/40 to 20/200.
- The findings suggest that the duration of chronic corneal edema before surgery may greatly impact EK outcomes, indicating the need for careful timing of the procedure and potential rescue treatments for patients with severe edema.
