  • Title: Corneal topography of spontaneous perforation of acute hydrops in keratoconus.
    Author: Nicoli C, Wainsztein RD, Trotta LP.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 1999 Jun; 25(6):871-2. PubMed ID: 10374172.
    Abstract:
    An unusual case of spontaneous corneal perforation of acute hydrops in the left eye of a 21-year-old man is presented. The patient had a history of atopic diseases. To evaluate the status of the other eye, corneal topographic analysis was performed. This confirmed a subclinical keratoconus in the fellow eye and the association with atopy, eye rubbing, and rapid progression of the ectasia leading to perforation.
