Abstract

We present a case report of corneal rupture by blunt trauma in an eye which underwent radial keratotomy (RK). The patient was admitted to our clinic following right eye trauma, five years afterRK. All measurements and examination results were recorded. The examination determined a corneal rupture and iris prolapse at the RK incision site at nine o clock. The iris was repositioned and cornea repaired. At the postoperative visit after one month, there was anterior synechia and eccentric pupil towards perforation site. It is emphasized that incision sites of RK are more vulnerable than normal corneal areas to blunt trauma even several years after RK.

Özet

Radyal keratotomiden (RK) sonra künt travma sonucu kornea perforasyonu gelişen bir olgu sunulmuştur. RK'dan beş yıl sonra geçirdiği göz travması sonucu kliniğimize başvuran ve ameliyat edilen olgunun tüm muayene bulguları ve görüntüleri kaydedildi. Travmalı gözde korneada saat 9.00 hizasındaki RK insizyonunda açılma ve iris prolapsusu izleniyordu. İris normal pozisyonuna itilerek perforasyon yeri sütüre edildi. Postoperatif kontrollerde anterior sineşi ve pupillanın perforasyon yerine doğru çekik olduğu gözlendi. RK'dan yıllar sonra bile kornea insizyon hattı diğer bölgelere göre travmaya daha dayanıksız olarak kalmaktadır.
