| Abstract |
|
Previous reports have documented the occurrence of sterile peripheral corneal ulcer and perforation after cataract surgery in patients with systemic autoimmune vasculitic disease or Sjogren's syndrome. But the corneal complication after cataract surgery in patients with Terrien's marginal degeneration, characterized by bilateral slowly progressive thinning of peripheral cornea with opacity and superficial vascularization, have not been reported. We report a case of sterile peripheral corneal perforation following recent cataract surgery in a 77 year old woman with Terrien's marginal degeneration, treated with partial penetrating keratoplasty. |
