  • Title: [Muraine sutures accelerate healing of corneal hydrops in acute keratotorus].
    Author: Schießl G, Suffo S, Milioti G, Seitz B.
    Journal: Ophthalmologe; 2019 Jul; 116(7):665-668. PubMed ID: 30229285.
    Abstract:
    We report on a 52-year-old male patient presenting with unilateral loss of vision of one week's duration. Pellucid marginal corneal degeneration was known. Slit lamp examination showed pronounced corneal edema as defined by acute corneal hydrops. After inferior preventive YAG iridotomy through clear cornea, intracameral air injection was performed. Deep stromal 10-0 nylon sutures were applied along the Descemet's membrane tear. The next day, the corneal edema had already begun to decrease.
