ABSTRACT
Here we present the case of a 27-year-old woman with benign joint hypermobility (BJHS) syndrome who developed keratectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in both eyes. Both eyes had identical low Randleman risk factor scores. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such a complication in a patient with BJHS. It highlights our incomplete knowledge of the risk factors for keratectasia following LASIK and suggests that BJHS should be considered as a risk factor for keratectasia.
RESUMO
Apresentamos um caso de estasia corneana em um paciente submetido à cirurgia refrativa a laser. Ceratomileuse a laser in situ (LASIK) foi realizada em ambos os olhos. Ambos os olhos apresentavam idênticos escores baixos na avaliação de fatores de risco de Randleman. Acreditamos que este é o primeiro caso desta complicação em um paciente com síndrome de hipermobilidade articular benigna relatado na literatura. Ele destaca o nosso conhecimento incompleto dos fatores de risco para ectasia corneana após LASIK e sugere que a síndrome de hipermobilidade articular benigna deve ser considerada um fator de risco para ectasia corneana.
