Published: September 2000

Histology after superficial keratectomy verified our diagnosis of corneal dermoid in a dwarf rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculi). To our knowledge, this lesion has not been reported previously to occur in dwarf rabbits. Ocular dermoids should be considered as a differential diagnosis for corneal abnormalities in the rabbit.

Several problems differentiate the treatment of children, especially those with congenital ocular disease, from adults, including the absence of complaints and the complication of systemic diseases. However, the most challenging is the continuing developing anatomical and functional development and immaturity in children. Consequently, the timing of disease onset and treatment can greatly affect the prognosis, and the prognosis cannot be confirmed without long-term follow-up periods.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed 20 years of keratoplasty procedures at a major hospital in northern China, reviewing 8,266 cases from 2002 to 2021 to identify trends in surgical indications and techniques.
  • - The most common reasons for keratoplasty were keratoleukoma, regraft, corneal endothelial dysfunction, and keratoconus, with a significant decrease in keratoleukoma cases and an increase in corneal endothelial dysfunction, regrafts, and congenital corneal opacities over time.
  • - A major change was noted in surgical methods, with penetrating keratoplasty declining and both anterior lamellar keratoplasty and endothelial keratoplasty becoming more popular, particularly in patients with cor

Purpose: Dermoid excision combined with lamellar keratoplasty was one of the most common surgical techniques for corneal dermoid. Due to the huge shortage of corneal donors, small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) derived lenticules might be the novel and feasible corneal grafts instead of traditional corneal donors. Therefore, we tried to use FG boned multi-layer lenticules as grafts in the treatment of corneal dermoid.

Article Synopsis
  • Corneal dermoid is a benign congenital tumor often identified in early childhood, but there’s limited research on its treatment and long-term outcomes.
  • This study examined 58 patients treated for corneal dermoid between 2017 and 2021, collecting data on demographics, tumor features, surgical methods, and post-surgery results.
  • Findings revealed that most patients were young, with the right eye most commonly affected, and post-surgery, 58% showed improved vision, highlighting the effectiveness of various surgical approaches.
