A 38-year-old male presented to the emergency department with methamphetamine-induced agitation. Physical exam showed clouding of the left cornea, with gelatinous appearance and associated conjunctivitis, consistent with corneal melt, or keratolysis.
Keratolysis is dissolution of the corneal stroma that can lead to corneal ulceration and vision loss. Smoking stimulants has been shown to be associated with this pattern of ocular injury, although this is a relatively rare presentation. Acute keratolysis is a unique complication of methamphetamine preparation and ingestion via smoking that can lead to corneal ulceration and loss of vision.
一名38岁男性因甲基苯丙胺所致激越状态被送至急诊科。体格检查发现左眼角膜混浊,呈胶冻样外观并伴有结膜炎,符合角膜溶解或角膜松解症。
角膜松解症是角膜基质的溶解,可导致角膜溃疡和视力丧失。尽管这种眼部损伤表现相对罕见,但已证实吸食兴奋剂与这种损伤模式有关。急性角膜松解症是通过吸烟方式制备和摄入甲基苯丙胺所引发的一种独特并发症,可导致角膜溃疡和视力丧失。
