A 39-year-old man presented with both eyes limbal stem cell deficiency status post chemical injury. He was managed initially with topical medications to subside the ocular surface inflammation. Over the course of subsequent visits, the fibrovascular pannus over the cornea gradually progressed, leading to further diminution of vision in left eye more than right eye. Since, the ocular surface was wet, the patient committed for lifelong immunosuppression and his brother consented to donate healthy limbal tissue; he underwent living-related allogeneic simple limbal epithelial transplantation in the left eye.
一位 39 岁男性,双眼化学伤后继发角膜缘干细胞缺乏。他最初接受了局部药物治疗以控制眼表炎症。在随后的就诊过程中,角膜上的纤维血管性血管翳逐渐进展,导致左眼视力下降较右眼更为明显。由于眼表湿润,患者需要终身接受免疫抑制治疗,他的兄弟也同意捐献健康的角膜缘组织;他在左眼接受了活体亲属同种异体单纯性角膜缘上皮移植。
