To present management of a patient with bilateral limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) by using "simple oral mucosal epithelial transplantation" (SOMET) technique.
Case report.
A 65-year-old female diagnosed with bilateral LSCD based on clinical findings. After stabilizing the ocular surface, we performed SOMET in the right eye. At 13 months postoperatively, visual acuity improved from counting fingers to 10/100 and a stable epithelium with regressed corneal vascularization was observed.
This report showed that SOMET seems to be an alternative technique in LSCD.
介绍使用“简单口腔黏膜上皮移植”（SOMET）技术治疗双侧角膜缘干细胞缺乏症（LSCD）患者的方法。
病例报告。
一位 65 岁女性，根据临床检查结果诊断为双侧 LSCD。在稳定眼表后，我们对右眼实施了 SOMET。术后 13 个月，视力从指数提高到了 10/100，可以看到稳定的上皮组织和退化的角膜血管化。
本报告表明，SOMET 似乎是 LSCD 的一种替代技术。
