| Popis: |
Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty is a technique which has been used effectively to treat anterior stromal corneal opacities, with the obvious benefit of preserving host endothelium. This report documents its use in a case of dematiaceous keratomycosis resistant to conservative management. Therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty, although a gold standard, has a high risk of rejection and poor graft survival. In our patient, careful case selection and meticulous dissection ensured elimination of infection, restoration of vision, and absence of recurrence of infection. |
