Abstract

Introduction: Iris cyst can be divided into primary and secondary, both originating from epithelial cells. Although rare, the entity has a high recurrence rate. This clinical case report highlights the treatment strategies to treat and prevent the recurrency of iris cyst. Case Report: We report a rare presentation of a secondary iris cyst in a 20-year-old male with a history of cataract surgery 17 years prior. The patient underwent fine-needle aspiration and intracystic alcohol injection. However, the iris cyst recurred eight months after the procedure. Afterward, the invasive strategy of iris cyst excision was conducted. Eight months after the secondary iris cyst surgery, the patient showed no signs of recurrence. Discussion: Iris cyst is known to have a high recurrence rate, however, a minimally invasive treatment is still preferred, supported by previous studies showing no recurrence in treatment with fine-needle aspiration and intracystic alcohol injection. In our case, the iris cyst relapsed eight months after this procedure, warranting for surgical excision. Eight months after the excision, the patient showed no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: Although the recurrency of iris cyst is high, the authors suggest starting with non-invasive treatment with follow-up ensuring no recurrence before opting for a more invasive treatment.

Abstract

Introduction: Corneal opacity can be divided into inflammatory and noninflammatory entities. The clinical presentation and characteristics of a corneal opacity can often help reach a diagnosis. However, atypical cases are more challenging to diagnose. This report aims to explore an atypical case of corneal opacity and the diagnostic approach through its clinical presentation. Case Report: A thirty-seven-year-old female patient had a chief complaint of gradual blurry vision in both eyes and slowly growing whitish lesions one year prior. The patient recalled a history of bilateral eye redness two years ago. The anterior segment examination and AS-OCT revealed bilateral, smooth, oedematous pearly-white elevated opacity with well-demarcated margins at the center of the cornea, with epithelial depth. The diagnosis of corneal keloid was favored, with GDLD and SND as the differential diagnosis. In local anesthesia, the patient underwent superficial keratectomy and amniotic membrane transplantation of the right eye. On one month follow-up, the patient felt an improvement in her subjective complaints with a normal appearance of the cornea. Discussion: The atypical characteristics found in our case didn’t fit a single mold, as it shared features of post- injury hypertrophic scar, degenerative, and dystrophy. We diagnosed the patient with corneal keloid caused by suspicion of subclinical infection. Although GDLD and SND were still possible, the working diagnosis was enough to warrant a therapeutic surgical removal. Conclusion: Atypical presentations make diagnosis more challenging. However, despite improvements in diagnostic modalities, signs, and symptoms remain very helpful in reaching a working diagnosis.

Abstract

Introduction : Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) often arises following trauma or inflammation that hinders corneal epithelium healing, commonly caused by chemical or thermal injuries. Despite significant advancements, treating LSCD remains challenging. This case highlights a challenging case of simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET) in LSCD following chemical injury. Case Illustration : A 20-year-old male presented with reduced vision in left eye following an alkaline chemical injury (grade III) was diagnosed with unilateral LSCD. Upon examination, conjunctivalization of the peripheral cornea, a central corneal cicatrix, and stromal neovascularization present after previous necrotomy, tenoplasty, and amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT). The patient then underwent SLET, with limbal biopsies from the collateral eye. Four months after surgery the visual acuity improved from 3/60 to 6/15 with spectacles. However, the cornea conjunctivalization still developed despite improved visual acuity. Discussion : To effectively manage the recurrence of stem cell deficiency, other stem cell transplantation techniques are needed to manage the problem. Combining different limbal stem cell transplantation approaches can be customised to address the problem and achieve lasting results. Conclusion : Prompt diagnosis and treatment of LSCD is crucial to prevent complications and blindness. SLET is a surgical option for LSCD after chemical injury, but this report highlights a challenging case and the need for the alternatives approaches.

Abstract

Introduction : A full-thickness defect of the cornea that results in a rupture or opening is known as corneal perforation. Despite corneal transplant being the gold standard therapy, finding a donor remains challenging. Tenon patch graft (TPG) may be the alternative surgical procedure to repair the damaged cornea. This case series presents six cases of corneal perforations that have been effectively managed with TPG. Case Illustration : Six cases with corneal perforations in the age range of 6-75 years old were presented with varying perforation sizes ranging from 0.5 to 8 mm. The most common complaints were vision loss, redness, and watery eyes. Ophthalmology examinations revealed five corneal ruptures and one impending corneal rupture caused by trauma, infections, corpus alienum, and post-operative. All patients underwent TPG surgery with compression/infinity sutures using 10-0 nylon, followed by bandage contact lenses, with three adjoined with amniotic membrane transplant. Post TPG, patients were followed up for 1-4 months and no complications such as glaucoma, cataract, or endophthalmitis were found. Discussion : Corneal damage that is not treated promptly causes further erosion of the deeper corneal layers. When medication fails, other measures must be taken to preclude further damage. TPG may be an accessible and cost-effective surgical procedure of choice to preserve eye integrity both functionally and structurally. Conclusion : This case series of tenon patch grafts for corneal perforations less than 9 mm demonstrated the effectiveness of TPG in promoting corneal healing without significant complications. Despite differences in perforation size and patient characteristics, all six cases saw closure of the perforation.
