Boston Type 1 Keratoprosthesis Implantation in Traumatic Stem Cell Deficiency and Keratoplasty Rejection
A 31-year-old male patient was admitted with the complaint of decreased vision in both eyes. He underwent multiple pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil injection operations due to bilateral retina detachment after rocket projectile explosion in his hands at the age of 15.

description | A 31-year-old male patient was admitted with the complaint of decreased vision in both eyes. He underwent multiple pars plana vitrectomy
and silicone oil injection operations due to bilateral retina detachment after rocket projectile explosion in his hands at the age of 15. The right
eye was pre-phthisical after choroidal hemorrhage that occurred during combined silicone oil extraction and penetrating keratoplasty. The
aphakic and vitrectomized left eye had corneal conjunctivalisation of seven dials, deep and superficial stromal neovascularization and history
of immunological graft rejection. As the estimated success rate for repeat penetrating keratoplasty was low, Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis
surgery was performed. Postoperatively, visual acuity was 0.2 Snellen lines. Macular scar and optic nerve atrophy limited further visual gain.
In this study, we aimed to review the current literature about Boston type keratoprosthesis surgery, which should be evaluated as an alternative
when conventional penetrating keratoplasty success is deemed to be low. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2012; 42: 66-71) |
