摘要:

We report an effective alternative treatment of profound chronic exposure keratopathy in a proptotic eye due to intraorbital extension of basal cell carcinoma. The corneal surface gradually reepithelialized in a 6-week period after the first application of Tegaderm transparent dressing (3M, St. Paul, MN, U.S.A.) with instillation of antibiotic ointment on the ocular surface. The patient has been comfortable with an intact epithelial surface, a vascularized cornea, and nonirritated surrounding skin after changing the Tegaderm dressing daily for 15 months. There was no evidence of recurrent corneal ulceration or infiltrations. We conclude that Tegaderm represents a useful treatment of exposure keratopathy due to chronic proptosis.
