主 题:high-risk fungal keratitis conjunctival flap deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty two-step strategy
摘 要:AIM:To investigate whether the two-step strategy[conjunctival flap covering surgery(CFCS)combined with secondary deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty(DALK)]is effective for patients with high-risk fungal keratitis(FK).METHODS:In this noncomparative,retrospective case series,10 subjects(6 males,4 females)with a mean age of 56.5±7.1(range 47-72)y with high-risk FK undergone the two-step strategy were *** outcome measures were healing of the corneal ulcer,recurrence of FK,reject reaction,improvement in best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and relevant ***:The average diameter of corneal infiltrates was 7.50±0.39 mm,ranging from 6.94 to 8.13 *** mean depth of corneal infiltrates was 422.4±77.1μm,ranging from 350 to 535μ*** mean corneal thickness was 597.4±117.3μm,ranging from 458 to 851μ*** and endothelial plaques were presented in all *** period between the two steps was 3.65±0.9(ranging from 3 to 5)*** graft diameter was 7.75±0.39 *** the last follow-up(average 9.25±3.39,ranging from 5.5 to 17mo),no fungal recurrence or graft rejection appeared,and all patients showed improvement of *** patient suffered from liver function impairment due to oral voriconazole for 4wk and recovered spontaneously after 1wk of drug ***:The two-step strategy is safe and effective in the treatment of high-risk FK by transforming intentional therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty during acute infection to later optical *** is a practical strategy,especially in areas lacking fresh donor corneas and eye bank services.
