To examine the confocal microscopic findings in a case of late-onset central toxic keratopathy.
A 46-year-old man with central toxic keratopathy 2 months after IntraLASIK underwent confocal microscopy to examine the cellular findings within the flap interface.
The confocal microscopy in central toxic keratopathy reveals activated keratocytes without aggregation of inflammatory cells.
The lack of inflammatory cells in the interface is consistent with the noninflammatory nature of central toxic keratopathy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of confocal microscopy in presumed central toxic keratopathy.
观察一例迟发性中央毒性角膜病变的共焦显微镜检查结果。
一名 46 岁男性患者 IntraLASIK 术后 2 个月发生中央毒性角膜病变,对其行共焦显微镜检查以观察瓣间界面的细胞变化。
中央毒性角膜病变的共焦显微镜检查显示,角膜细胞活性增强,无炎症细胞聚集。
界面无炎症细胞与中央毒性角膜病变的非炎症性质一致。据我们所知,这是首例疑似中央毒性角膜病变的共焦显微镜检查报告。
