MANAGEMENT OF
PERFORATED COR NE AL UL CE R Under Supervision Of :
Dr. Mahmoud Yousif
DEFINITION • Corneal ulcer is discontuity of the anterior corneal surface.
CAUSATIVE AGENT • • • • •
Bacterial : staph.,Strept.,Pneumococci Viral : H.S.Virus Fungi : Candida albican Protozoal : Acanthamoeba Chlamydial : Chlamydia trachomatis
Bacterial culture
DIAGNOSIS • Slit lamp revealing the ulcer on the cornea.
DIAGNOSIS • fluorescein stain helps in defining the margins of the corneal ulcer, and can reveal additional details of the surrounding epithelium
DIAGNOSIS • Rose-Bengal dye : used for supra-vital staining purposes, but it may be very irritating to the eyes.

1-MEDICAL TREATMENT • 2. 3. 4. 5.
Local treatment : Atropine sulphate Bandage Antibiotics Hot fomentation
1-MEDICAL TREATMENT •
General treatment :
2. Systemic Antibiotics 3. Vitamins 4. Rest in bed 5. Avoid straining : By laxatives and anti tussives
2-SURGICAL TREATMENT 1. Conjunctival flaps or graft Principle: All types of conjunctival flaps consist of thin conjunctival tissue transposed onto the cornea to cover the lesion. Value: Conjunctival flaps provide corneal support, fibrovascular tissue to fill corneal defects, and bring blood supply
3-SURGICAL TREATMENT •
Conjunctival flaps or graft
2-SURGICAL TREATMENT •
Amniotic membrane grafts
Principle: Separate amniotic membranes were transplanted as material to fill the stromal layer (amniotic membrane filling), as a basement membrane (amniotic membrane graft), and as a wound cover (amniotic membrane patch
2-SURGICAL TREATMENT •
Amniotic membrane grafts
2-SURGICAL TREATMENT 1. Penetrating Keratoplasty : Objectives Corneal perforation can be potentially blinding unless the integrity of the globe is restored quickly. Although penetrating keratoplasty (PK) may achieve this, it carries a high risk of endothelial rejection in inflamed eyes
2-SURGICAL TREATMENT 1. Penetrating Keratoplasty :
2-SURGICAL TREATMENT 4. Deep lamellar keratoplasty Objectives : an alternative option to PK in inflamed eyes owing to its potential for a lower incidence of rejection
2-SURGICAL TREATMENT 4. Deep lamellar keratoplasty
2-SURGICAL TREATMENT 1. Human Fibrin Glue Princible: similar to those of the coagulation cascade, with final formation of a fibrin clot
3-SURGICAL TREATMENT •
Human Fibrin Glue
3-CAUSAL TREATMENT 1. Treat the predisposing factors : e.g.: - Epilation of rubbing lashes - Removal of P.T.D.s - Control D.M.
5. Treat the precipitating Factors : e.g.:- blepharitits - conjunctivivtis - Chronic dacryocystits
