  • Title: Trypan-blue-assisted anterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis in a case of ocular pemphigoid.
    Author: Kuchenbecker J, Vorwerk C, Mawrin C, Behrens-Baumann W.
    Journal: Ocul Immunol Inflamm; 2006 Oct; 14(5):313-5. PubMed ID: 17056467.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report on trypan-blue-assisted anterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (ACCC) in a case of ocular pemphigoid. METHODS: Interventional case report. RESULTS: Due to the reduced visibility especially in the corneal periphery caused by the ocular pemphigoid, trypan blue 0,06% (Acri.Blue) was used to stain the anterior capsule of the lens. Then anterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis was performed. Due to the blue staining, the visualization of the margin of the rhexis was always good and phacoemulsification procedure was successfully performed afterwards. During the follow-up period of 12-months-postsurgically, no exacerbation of the ocular pemphigoid occurred. CONCLUSIONS: The use of trypan blue staining of the anterior capsule enabled the surgeon to perform a safe anterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and a subsequent phacoemulsification in ocular pemphigoid. No progression of the ocular pemphigoid was seen within the 12-months-post-surgery period.
