ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The following report describes a case of apical leucoma syndrome after hyperopic photorefractive keratectomy following hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis and the subsequent treatment of this complication with focal phototherapeutic keratectomy. The patient underwent focal transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy of 70 mm ablation and 1.5 mm diameter after pupil and ablation offset correction. After 1 year, significant improvement in vision was observed and only slight residual opacity remained on biomicroscopy and optical coherence tomography. Focal phototherapeutic keratectomy was effective and safe for the treatment of this complication.
RESUMO
RESUMO O relato a seguir descreve um caso da síndrome do Leucoma Apical após cirurgia ceratorrefrativa hipermetrópica depois de Laser hiperópico in situ keratomileusis, e o subsequente tratamento desta complicação com ceratectomia fototerapêutica focal. O paciente foi submetido à ceratectomia fototerapêutica focal transepitelial com ablação de 70 mm e diâmetro de 1,5 mm, após correção de offset pupilar. Depois de um ano, foi observada uma melhora significativa da acuidade visual permanecendo apenas leve opacidade residual na biomicroscopia e tomografia de coerência óptica. A ceratectomia fototerapêutica focal foi efetiva e segura para o tratamento desta complicação.
