ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report cases of corneal perforation among corneas treated with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive.METHODS:
We performed cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive application on 1 case of corneal perforation due to fungal keratitis, one case of corneal perforation due to neurotrophic keratitis, one case of corneal fistula due to foreign body and one case of corneal perforation due to corneal stromal dystrophy. After cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive removal, amniotic membrane transplantation was conducted in two cases, and keratoplaty was performed in another two cases.RESULTS:
Postoperative follow-up period was 12 months on average. In all four cases, ocular integrity was successfully restored. There was no sign of recurrence, infection or inflammation.CONCLUSIONS:
Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive monotherpy can restore ocular integrity successfully in various type of corneal perforation and After cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive removal, amniotic membrane transplantation and keratoplaty can be performed additionally.
