Title: Intriguing Corneal Cases
Author: Carlton Fenzl
Date: 10/29/2014
Keywords/Main Subjects: Corneal ring shaped opacity; MGUS; Corneal opacity; Irregular astigmatism; Penetrating keratoplasty; Post-keratoplasty; Astigmatic keratoplasty; LASIK after keratoplasty; Conductive keratoplasty; Compression sutures
Secondary CORE Category: External Disease and Cornea / Systemic Disorders with Corneal Changes
Additional CORE Category: External Disease and Cornea / Clinical Approach to Corneal Transplantation
Diagnosis: MGUS, Irregular astigmatism
Brief Description: This is a series of 3 case studies of corneal disorders. The first covers an unknown diagnosis of a full thickness, ring-shaped corneal opacity. A differential of righ shaped opacities is discussed. The second case presents a patient with multiple white stromal opacities in the cornea. The diagnosis of MGUS is discussed. The third case covers a post-LASIK, post-cataract surgery patient who now presents with irregular astigmatism. A penetrating keratoplasty was performed with less than ideal results. The post-operative management of this penetrating keratoplasty is described.
