In the fourth month after CXL-WA, the patient showed a 2 x 2 mm central
descemetocele with a thinning of the cornea (232 [micro]m centrally and 116 [micro]m peripherally) (Figure 3).

descemetocele," Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde, vol.
Among various eye affections, highest percentage of prevalence was corneal ulceration (15.6%) followed by conjunctivitis (11.7%), corneal opacity (10.2%), congenital affections (blindness, dermoid), neoplasia (7.8% each), injured eyelids, orbital affections, keratitis, hyphema (7.2% each), pannus (4%), hypopyon,
descemetocele, uveitis (2.3% each), luxation of lens, exophthalmos, eye worm, panophthalmia (1.6% each) and posterior synechia (0.8%).
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show anterior segment photographs of patients with corneal neovascularization and peripheral corneal infiltrates, and
descemetocele, respectively.
Dos meses despues, aparece un marcado dolor en el ojo izquierdo y se reporta
descemetocele grande central y perforacion, ademas de autosellado con el iris.
If the erosion continues to Descemets membrane, a deep ulcer called a
descemetocele forms.
If the erosion continues to Descemet's membrane, a deep ulcer called a
descemetocele forms.
Ceratomicoses estromais podem ser visualizadas como uma area de ulceracao relativamente superficial e infiltracao delimitada por uma regiao de depressao estromal (sulco), ou como ulceracao profunda, podendo ocorrer ceratomalacia (Figura 1f),
descemetocele e perfuracao ocular seguida ou nao de prolapso de iris (Figura 1i).
Ulcerative keratitis can be classified into superficial keratitis, deep corneal ulcer keratitis,
descemetocele keratitis and perforation keratitis, with reference to loss of corneal layers [2].
Descemetocele, bullous keratopathy and rheumatoid arthritis related corneal melt, can be helped temporarily with Elfy but as the condition usually persists these are good candidates for other procedures.
Four corneas showed
descemetocele and 7 corneas perforated.
