ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 20 pacientes (20 ojos) en quienes se practicó trasplante perforante de córnea, con evolución favorable, en el Centro Oftalmológico del Hospital General Docente "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" de Santiago de Cuba, de enero a junio del 2014, y luego se les examinó con microscopia confocal, a fin de describir las características del tejido corneal. Entre las variables seleccionadas figuraron: edad, sexo y causa de indicación de la queratoplastia penetrante; en tanto, los resultados preponderantes fueron: grupo etario de 60-69 años, sexo masculino y queratopatía vesicular como principal causa del trasplante. Asimismo, las alteraciones más frecuentemente halladas en la microscopia confocal resultaron: disminución del número de células endoteliales, aumento en el polimegatismo y alteración en el pleomorfismo endotelial.


A descriptive and cross sectional study of 20 patients (20 eyes) in whom a penetrating corneal transplantation was practiced, with a favorable clinical course, in the Ophthalmological Center from "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January to June, 2014, and then they were examined with confocal microscopy, in order to describe the characteristics of the corneal tissue. Among the selected variables there were: age, sex and cause of indication for the penetrating keratoplasty; as long as, the predominant results were: age group 60-69 years, male sex and vesicular keratopathy as main cause for the transplantation. Also, the most frequent changes found in the confocal microscopy were: decrease in the number of endothelial cells, increase in polimegatism and alteration in the endothelial pleomorfism.
