This case report describes a rare case of fungal keratitis following femtoLASIK. Despite targetted antifungal therapy, this case necessitated an innovative surgical approach to manage an unexpected corneal perforation.
A 35-year-old male presented 3 weeks post-femtoLASIK for myopic astigmatism with discomfort and reduced vision in his right eye. He was diagnosed with fungal keratitis surgery caused by and was treated with a myriad of therapy. Unfortunately, the patient developed corneal perforation during flap lift and flap bed irrigation. An innovative approach involving a tectonic autograft using a viable LASIK flap, followed by prompt penetrating keratoplasty, was utilised.
This technique was effective and able to mitigate the progression to an open globe.
本病例报告描述了一例飞秒激光原位角膜磨镶术(femtoLASIK)后罕见的真菌性角膜炎病例。尽管采取了针对性的抗真菌治疗,但该病例仍需要创新的手术方法来处理意外的角膜穿孔。
一名35岁男性在飞秒激光原位角膜磨镶术后3周因近视散光就诊,右眼不适且视力下降。他被诊断为由 引起的真菌性角膜炎并接受了多种治疗。不幸的是,患者在掀起角膜瓣和冲洗角膜瓣下时发生了角膜穿孔。采用了一种创新方法,即使用存活的飞秒激光原位角膜磨镶术角膜瓣进行结构性自体移植,随后迅速进行穿透性角膜移植术。
该技术有效,能够减轻病情发展至眼球开放性损伤。
