ABSTRACT
We herein present a case with corneal overriding due to improper suturing of a full-thickness corneal laceration. There was a 2.5-mm difference between horizontal and vertical white-to-white measurements in the cornea. However, slit lamp examination failed to demonstrate the exact architecture of the laceration. Ultrasound biomicroscopy defined the wound edges thoroughly and confirmed the presence of corneal overriding. Six weeks after suture enhancement, the abnormal oval appearance of the cornea was absent and correct apposition of the corneal edges was seen on ultrasound biomicroscopy. Ultrasound biomicroscopy can be used in preoperative surgical planning of cases with complicated corneal lacerations. It can be used to adjust and enhance wound architecture in eyes with penetrating injury.
RESUMO
Apresentamos um caso com encavalamento corneano devido à sutura inadequada de uma laceração da córnea de espessura total. Houve uma diferença 2,5 mm entre as medidas do branco ao branco horizontais e verticais na córnea. No entanto, o exame da lâmpada de fenda não conseguiu demonstrar a arquitetura exata da laceração. A biomicroscopia ultrassônica definiu as bordas da ferida completamente e confirmou a presença de encavalamento da córnea. Seis semanas após a melhora da sutura, a aparência oval anormal da córnea havia desaparecido, e a correta aposição das bordas da córnea foi identificada na biomicroscopia ultrassônica. A biomicroscopia ultrassônica pode ser usada no planejamento cirúrgico pré-operatório de casos com lacerações corneanas complicadas. Ela pode ser utilizada para ajustar e melhorar a arquitetura da ferida em olhos com lesão penetrante.
