Özet

This report describes a case of spontaneous corneal perforation in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and highlights the efficacy of treatment with amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT). A 58-year-old African-American woman with RA presented with complaints of redness and blurred vision in the right eye. Spontaneous corneal perforation and iris prolapse were determined in the paracentral corneal region of the right eye. Two-layer AMT surgery was performed. The anterior chamber began to improve 2 weeks after the AMT. Treatment for RA was scheduled with the rheumatology department.
