Ocular examinations before and after total ear canal ablation and bulla osteotomy can help recognize and prevent potential vision-threatening abnormalities in cats and dogs.
J Am Vet Med Assoc
January 2025
2College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.
Objective: To report ocular examination findings before and after total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy (TECALBO) and ventral bulla osteotomy (VBO) in cats and dogs.
Methods: At The Ohio State University and MedVet Columbus, ophthalmic examinations were performed on client-owned animals for which a TECALBO or VBO was indicated. Examination findings and postoperative complications relating to ophthalmic and/or neuro-ophthalmic diseases were recorded prior to surgery (T0) and at 1 day (T1), 2 to 3 weeks (T14), and ± 2 months (T60) postoperatively.
Clinical and surgical outcomes of tectonic corneal patch grafts : insights from a tertiary referral hospital.

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Health Sciences, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye.
Purpose: This study aimed to report the clinical characteristics, surgical indications, outcomes and long-term complications of full-thickness or lamellar corneal patch grafts for various indications.
Material-method: This retrospective study included 48 eyes of 47 patients who underwent full-thickness or lamellar corneal patch keratoplasty for treatment of corneal perforation, melting and descemetocele. Patient demographics, preoperative features, best-corrected visual acuity before and after surgery, mean follow-up time, corneal graft type, long-term complications, need for additional surgery, and anatomical success were analyzed.
Is it really descemetocele? Morphology of extremely thin membrane that remained after severe corneal melting: a case report.

Article Synopsis
- The study reports the first transmission electron microscopic findings from a case of whole corneal descemetocele following an infectious corneal ulcer in a 72-year-old male patient.
- After treating the infection, a corneoscleral transplant was performed, and the thin excised corneal membrane was examined under an electron microscope, revealing two distinct cell types and various cell junctions.
- The findings showed no endothelial cells or significant presence of Descemet membrane, leading to the conclusion that the term "descemetocele" may not accurately apply in this case.
Corneal descemetocele following Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy in a patient with Steven Johnson syndrome: A case report.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep

School of Medicine, Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, Milan, Italy.
Purpose: To report a challenging case of corneal descemetocele following Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification in a patient with Steven Johnson syndrome (SJS).
Observations: A single-eye 52 year-old man, with a history of Steven Johnson syndrome, presented with severe eye pain and profound vision reduction in his left eye two days after undergoing Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy using the standard Abraham contact lens. A corneal descemetocele was identified and subsequently confirmed by anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
Amniotic membrane graft (AMG) for persistent epithelial defects following infective corneal ulcers and keratitis - A systematic review.
Indian J Ophthalmol

Department of Ophthalmology Queens Medical Centre, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom.
Management of nonhealing corneal ulcers is challenging as it can lead to complications such as melting, descemetocele, and perforation, which can be prevented by amniotic membrane graft (AMG). The absence of any review (English language) on AMG for corneal ulcers prompted us to conduct this review. We looked for clinical trials (randomized and controlled) on the effect of AMG combined with other treatments, through various search engines utilizing the terms amniotic membrane and corneal ulcer.
