PURPOSE To report a case of corneal graft failure due to epithelial ingrowth after an uneventful combined Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and phacoemulsification cataract surgery with intraocular lens implant treated successfully with a repeat DSAEK. METHODS A 77-year-old male patient underwent combined DSAEK and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implant ...

Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is a corneal surgical technique which selectively replaces the damaged posterior part of the cornea with a healthy donor graft retaining the rest of the tissue intact. There is a need to validate and standardize the donor tissue before grafting due to certain issues that can lead to consequences such as graft failure due to poor endothelial cell...

Purpose: To study the determinants of glaucoma therapy escalation (GTE) after Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) for pseudophakic bullous keratopathy in an eye-care hospital Saudi Arabia. Methods: This nested case-control evaluated patients who required medical or surgical treatment controlling DSAEK (defined as GTE; GTE group). A group did not require any interventio...

A Anomalia de Peters é uma malformação do segmento anterior olho, secundária a um defeito na migração das células da crista neural. É caracterizada por opacidade corneana central e alterações no estroma posterior, membrana Descemet endotélio. O objetivo deste artigo ilustrar tipo I, relatando caso paciente 4 anos, assim como discutir o manejo clínico cirúrgico as complicações doença.
