To report the case of an anterior chamber epithelial cyst after uncomplicated deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) treated with a tissue-sparing surgical technique.
A 35-year-old female patient underwent DALK in her OS because of stage IV keratoconus. The surgery was uneventful, and 3 months postoperatively, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/25. By the sixth postoperative month, a cystic iris lesion was noticed. The lesion grew progressively larger, and BCVA dropped to 20/63 in OS. Cyst excision was performed.
No complications possibly related to the surgery were observed. Two years later, BCVA was 20/25 in OS, and there were no signs of cyst recurrence. Histopathological examination of the lesion showed an epithelial implantation cyst.
An anterior chamber epithelial cyst is a sight-threatening condition that may occur after DALK. In selected cases, a conservative surgical approach is an effective treatment option, conveying excellent functional and anatomical outcomes.
报告1例采用保留组织手术技术治疗的单纯性深板层角膜移植术(DALK)后前房上皮囊肿病例。
一名35岁女性患者因IV期圆锥角膜在其左眼行DALK。手术过程顺利,术后3个月最佳矫正视力(BCVA)为20/25。术后第6个月,发现一个囊性虹膜病变。病变逐渐增大,左眼BCVA降至20/63。进行了囊肿切除术。
未观察到可能与手术相关的并发症。两年后,左眼BCVA为20/25,无囊肿复发迹象。病变的组织病理学检查显示为上皮植入性囊肿。
前房上皮囊肿是一种可在DALK后发生的威胁视力的疾病。在特定病例中,保守手术方法是一种有效的治疗选择,可带来良好的功能和解剖学结果。
