RESUMEN
Se informa de un paciente con catarata patológica y gran descemetocele en su ojo izquierdo producto de secuela de úlcera grave de la córnea, que sufre perforación corneal y al cual se le realiza un doble proceder quirúrgico, queratoplastia perforante y extracción extracapsular del cristalino, como medida heroica para salvar la integridad del globo ocular y conservar su agudeza visual. El tratamiento específico posoperatorio fue con corticoides e hipotensores oculares tópicos y sistémicos además de antibióticos locales. A pesar de ser una queratoplastia con muy alto riesgo, la córnea donante se mantiene transparente sin signos de rechazo y una visión de cuenta dedos a 3 m, después de un mes de operado.
ABSTRACT
This paper presents a patient suffering from pathological cataract and big descemetocele in his left eye due to a sequelae of serious ulcer of the cornea and corneal perforation. He underwent a double surgical procedure, that is, perforating keroplasty and extracapsular removal of the crystalline lens as a way of saving the integrity of the eyeball and preserving his visual acuity. The specific postoperative treatment was corticosteroids, topical and systemic occular hypotensive drugs plus local antibiotics. In spite of the high risk keratoplasty, donor cornea keeps its transparency without rejection signs and his vision allows him to count fingers at a 3m distance one month after surgery.
