To report a case of Ahmed tube exposure secondary to Prokera implantation.
Case report.
We present a 48-year-old woman who developed tube erosion after penetrating keratoplasty and Prokera implantation for dense vascularized corneal scar. The patient subsequently underwent wound revision with repeat scleral patch graft and closure of the conjunctival defect.
The case presented demonstrates that caution should be exercised in using this implant in patients who have irregular elevations of the ocular surface because of glaucoma drainage devices.
报告一例因植入Prokera导致艾哈迈德引流管外露的病例。
病例报告。
我们报告一名48岁女性，因致密血管化角膜瘢痕行穿透性角膜移植术及植入Prokera后发生引流管侵蚀。该患者随后接受了伤口修复，再次行巩膜补片移植并封闭结膜缺损。
本病例表明，对于因青光眼引流装置导致眼表不规则隆起的患者，使用该植入物时应谨慎。
