Abstract EN
A case report of exposure and neurotrophic keratopathy after acoustic neuroma surgery resulting in perforation if not managed appropriately and timely is presented.
Sclerokeratoplasty on 360 degrees may be an effective treatment method of corneal perforation in complete anaesthetic cornea when the standard penetrating keratoplasty failed.
At a 12-month follow-up, the patient is doing well.
UCVA is 0.5, the IOP is normal, and the graft remains clear.
Systemic immunosuppression is the main disadvantage of this method.
Further investigation is needed to assess the effectiveness and safety of this method.
